              Bridge Troubleshooting

              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

              Brave Users

              To fix canvas issues on Brave:

              • Click on the Brave logo on the right edge of your URL bar
              • Click Advanced View
              • Set the bottom dropdown to Cross-site device recognition blocked
              • Click on Retry in Bridge

              The warning box should disappear.
