querySelector vs. getElementById

I have heard that querySelector and querySelectorAll are new methods to select DOM elements. How do they compare to the older methods, getElementById and getElementsByClassName in terms of performance and browser support?

How does the performance compare to using jQuery’s query selector?

Is there a best practice recommendation for which method to use?
