This page covers common issues encountered with the Bridge↗ application.
Canvas Issues
Bridge uses an HTML element called canvas to create your wallets. Unfortunately malicious websites can use canvas to identify and track users. As a result, some browsers and anti-tracking extensions can interfere with Bridge's ability to generate wallets.
If there are no instructions for your browser, or the instructions don't work, please file a ticket on the issue tracker↗
