Is Livewire v2 using websockets or http by default?

I watched a video from Caleb and curious about v2 of Livewire - is it using websockets or plain http by default?

HTTP. Livewire doesn’t support swapping out AJAX with WebSockets anymore for its core functionality. You can however still use WebSockets - https://laravel-livewire.com/docs/2.x/laravel-echo.
