jQuery has deprecated synchronous XMLHTTPRequest

by

To avoid this warning, do not use:

async: false

in any of your $.ajax() calls. This is the only feature of XMLHttpRequest that’s deprecated.

The default is async: true, so if you never use this option at all, your code should be safe if the feature is ever really removed.

However, it probably won’t be — it may be removed from the standards, but I’ll bet browsers will continue to support it for many years. So if you really need synchronous AJAX for some reason, you can use async: false and just ignore the warnings. But there are good reasons why synchronous AJAX is considered poor style, so you should probably try to find a way to avoid it. And the people who wrote Flash applications probably never thought it would go away, either, but it’s in the process of being phased out now.

Notice that the Fetch API that’s replacing XMLHttpRequest does not even offer a synchronous option.
