Hello!

Since the middle of last week (25-02-2024 - 01-03-2024) I cannot visit pages in Atlassian Confluence anymore. It says my browser is not supported[1].
The log of WebKitGTK-Inspector is attached.

The demo website [2] still seems to work but you cannot save and looks at existing pages, it just shows the editor which works.



Thank you
Peter

*Argh*

Atlassian blocks Epiphany. If I change the user-agent to Firefox it works fine again. Quote from their website:

> It's possible for Atlassian cloud products to work with some unsupported browsers. Atlassian cloud products check browsers for the presence of methods that are required for the product to work correctly. If these browser methods aren't detected, you receive an error message that the browser isn't supported.

Likely incorrect. Looks like the check user-agents and block Epiphany.

You confirmed on Matrix that a Safari on macOS user agent quirk makes the website work, so we will use that.

Thank you :)
