We know that we don’t have jQuery installed because if we open Dev Tools and type jquery
on the console, we see this.
IMPORTANT: Modern Chrome has a special native code method that exists at the variable name $
in the console. (It’s like “jQuery lite”). When jQuery is not loaded, you will see it instead of seeing the jQuery alias $
. Do not confuse this Chrome-provided function with installing jQuery.
