Wait how does jQuery decrease cross-browser compatibility?? "jQuery has been removed from plotly.js for significantly better performance and improved browser compatibility."

Possibly referring to jQuery 2 dropping support for IE 8 and down?

Native JavaScript can be up to 10–100X than the equivalent operations done through a compatibility layer like jQuery.

I didn't ask about the performance claims.

Maybe the performance was bad on specific browsers?
