JIRA Avatars Not Showing in Chrome on Mac? Here’s What Worked for Me

One of the most frustrating parts of debugging isn’t always the bug itself—it’s when you can’t find a single working solution anywhere. That’s exactly what happened to me when JIRA avatars stopped showing in Chrome on my Mac. It's not a huge issue but it's so irritating and it affected my flow so much. I scoured the entire internet trying to find a solution but to no avail. Atlassian's own documentation? Useless. Community forums? A bunch of unanswered threads or people saying “same issue here.” It honestly felt like even the Atlassian team had no idea what was going on. I also tried asking ChatGPT and Deepseek but nothing there either. Alas, after trying all the usual tricks and hitting a wall, I finally found a fix that worked—and it was surprisingly simple.
