I just checked Amazon, eBay, and MSN they use jQuery.
The only one you listed that doesn't seem to is Wikipedia. You really should actually try the websites before you list them.
- oinksoft 14y agoYou ought to read comments before replying to them. I clearly said that only those four are using jQuery, and that the remaining sixteen do not. I checked all of them by hand before stating this, except for Wikipedia because it is common knowledge that MediaWiki uses jQuery. Also, your idea below about sniffing for $ is a bit embarrassing. Firefox, Chrome, etc. have come with $ for many years as an ID or query selector, and it has nothing to do with jQuery. Prototype and MooTools also provide $, and probably a dozen or more similar libraries you haven't heard of.

- youngtaff 14y agoI think Wikipedia removed jQuery due to the impact it had on battery life - see Who Killed My Battery (http://www2012.wwwconference.org/proceedings/proceedings/p41.pdf http://www2012.wwwconference.org/proceedings/proceedings/p41...) for some details.
- oinksoft 14y agoPeople on comp.lang.javascript (which has its problems, and I've been away for a while) have been noting this for a while. jQuery chews far more cycles than comparable libraries with its function overloading, extra $(this) invocations and such.
