Supported Browsers

Learn where Canvas is supported.

To prepare your Canvas apps for the new web browser restrictions on third-party cookies, see How Third-Party Cookie Restrictions Impact Salesforce Canvas Apps in Salesforce Help.

Important

Canvas supports the most recent versions of the following browsers:

  • Mozilla® Firefox® (preferred)
  • Google Chrome™
  • Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (be sure Compatibility Mode is disabled)
  • Microsoft® Edge
  • Apple® Safari® (be sure to set the Block Cookies setting to Never)

See the supported browsers topics in Salesforce Help for specific versions and some important considerations. Because Canvas is not built on Lightning, it still supports Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 11.

If your app uses session cookies, you might need to set your P3P header to allow for third-party cookies or change the browser settings to allow all session cookies.
