    Interesting. Visiting slack.com. First screenshot is #Firefox. Second is #Chrome. I'm not logged into either (or have been for a while) browser. First shows "Talk To Sales". Second button instead is "Request A Demo". A/B testing? Check my cookies? But ok. But both of these screens: buttons seem off. Firefox worse. Slack maybe doesn't test…
