@retoor Atlassian are doing that weird shit. I don't like products from Atlassian. Jira and Confluence have too many bells and whistles, evidently to cater for the needs of people with ADHD who can't live without a cluttered screen. Back in the really old days, on 8-bit home computers, screens were small (usually 320*200 pixels), memory was small (somewhere between 10 and 28K freely allocable RAM) and processors were slooow (a few *mega*hertz), and multitasking wasn't even a known concept to the common user. Perhaps these limitations were a blessing in disguise as any user interface tended to be extremely clean and simple, focusing on a few details at a time.

I agree. At a consultant company where I worked, for a short while before changing to my current job, we used Slack and it was actually quite OK for a chat. I don't use chats in general as they are distracting, just like phones. But for short text-based meetings they can come in handy. We're not using any chat at my current job. There's the one in Teams but its UX is horrible, even worse than Jira. Most of our written communication takes place in either Jira or by e-mail.

Life when you didn't know about browsers developer tools
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Many years ago, when most of you were toddlers, different web browsers were...different, and the most different of them all was Internet Explorer. Web applications were not automatically cross-browser compatible and it took a lot of adaptation/tweaking to make a webapp, or even a simple web page, work and look the same across different web browsers. Some web pages/apps only worked on a specific browser and poorly, if at all, on some other browsers. Now, in 2024, we're there again. Atlassian's Confluence works without a hitch on Edge, but often fails miserably on Firefox. Too bad. I don't like Edge, but am forced to use it just for Confluence. So, once again, I have separate web browsers for different tasks.
