just a simple reminder:

    Top 1m 77.15%
    Top 100k 87.37%
    Top 10k 88.83%

Interestingly enough, if you uncheck Top 1m and look at either 100k or 10k, you can see the start of the drop since 2017.

I wonder if the lack of updates affects that. No new exposure or new things to get excited about.

If you have jQuery on your website alongside Google Analytics, you’re loading two jQuery libraries without you knowing due to Google using it too on their analytics script.

Do you have a source on this? I can't believe this is true and my 2-3 google searches say it's not.

https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js

Search “jQuery” in there, first result will be the copyright comment plus the version.

it doesn't export to the global namespace though:

    <script src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js"></script>
    <script>$</script>
    ReferenceError: $ is not defined

    <script>jQuery</script>
    ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

Is that the same JS used for Analytics? I think that's just for GTM. Here is the analytics script I see more often and it doesn't have jQuery: https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js

It’s the new snippet for analytics.
