I have found that Jira performance is significantly slower using Safari than it is on Chrome, on MacOS.
As an example: opening an issue on a company managed board:
From initial click, to empty modal displaying:
- Safari: 2-5 seconds
- Chrome: <1 second
From empty modal displaying to content displaying:
- Safari: 1-3 seconds
- Chrome: 1-2 seconds
You can see from this example that on average, Chrome just feels snappier, and is much more performant than Safari, which feels sluggish and unresponsive in comparison.
Extrapolate that out to most other interactions with Jira, navigating menus, reading and moving cards, The result is that Jira on Safari is a poor experience.
The easy solution is to use Chrome, but is there anything that can be done to improve front-end performance of Jira on Safari? Any settings I could enable or disable to make things snappier?
Most of Atlassian's competitors in this space, including their buddies at Trello, have experiences that work great in Safari, so it seems crazy to me that Jira sucks so much on it.
