# Browser compatibility

## General

In order for Authereum to function properly without any issues, do the following:

* Do not use ad blockers on Authereum enabled sites (often labeled under *shields*)
* Enable cross-site storage in browser settings (often labeled under *cookies* or *trackers*)

### Browser Test

You can visit the [browser test ](https://browser-test.authereum.com)page to see if your browser or browser settings is compatible with Authereum:

## Safari (desktop)

#### Version supported: 13+

Browser supported: [✔️](https://emojipedia.org/check-mark/) (requires cross-site storage enabled)

Private window supported: [❌](https://emojipedia.org/cross-mark/)

Safari by default disables cross-site storage reading. Authereum requires cross-site storage reading to read sandboxed signing keys that live in the browser local storage.

Safari disallows cross-site storage in private mode so it won't be possible to use Authereum on Safari Private window mode.
