Web browser that doesnt allow download

Canvas supports the current and first previous major releases of the following browsers:

• Chrome 86 and 87
• Firefox 82 and 83 (Extended Releases are not supported*)
• Edge 86 and 87
• Respondus Lockdown Browser (supporting the latest system requirements)
• Safari 13 and 14 (Macintosh only)

You should always use the most current version of your preferred browser. Your browser will notify you if there is a new version available.

Note: Safari and later versions contain an update that may cause issues with downloading files, displaying images, and playing chat alerts in Canvas. Canvas engineers are currently working on a solution for this issue. Until then, you may avoid errors with files, images, and alerts by disabling cross-site tracking prevention in Safari when using Canvas. If disabling cross-site tracking doesn't resolve these issues, please try one of the other supported browsers.

Unsupported Browser Banner

Some supported browsers may still produce a banner stating Your browser does not meet the minimum requirements for Canvas. If you have upgraded your browser but you are still seeing the warning banner, try logging out of Canvas and deleting your browser cookies.

Enterprise Extended Release Browsers

Chrome and Firefox offer extended release versions for organization that manage client desktops. Chrome ESR can be kept up-to-date with the existing full version of Chrome at any time. However, Firefox ESR is only updated with every seventh major version, which causes Firefox ESR to overlap with outdated versions. The Firefox ESR webpage notes that ESR may not be supported in every web application because of this version release delay. Institutions who use Firefox ESR should consider deploying the latest release to ensure the best Canvas user experience.

* For extended release browser versions, the warning banner still applies and displays in Canvas for any browser below the minimum version requirement.

Known Browser Behaviors

Like all Canvas features, contrary behaviors relating to browsers are prioritized by our product teams, and some behaviors in the previous version may not be resolved. If a behavior exists in the previous version of the browser that does not exist in the current version, the best solution is to update to the newest browser version.
