Brightspace (D2L) Issues in Safari
Brightspace supports Safari, but Safari privacy settings may sometimes prevent pages or content from loading correctly.
If Brightspace does not load properly in Safari:
Option 1: Try Another Browser
Try accessing D2L using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.
Option 2: Change Safari Privacy Settings
On a Mac:
- Open Safari > Settings > Privacy.
- Disable Prevent cross-site tracking.
- Disable Hide IP address from trackers.
- Reload D2L and try again.
On an iPhone or iPad:
- Open Settings > Apps > Safari.
- Under Privacy & Security, disable Prevent Cross-Site Tracking.
- Set Hide IP Address to Off.
- Return to Safari and try D2L again.
These Safari privacy features can interfere with D2L or third-party services used within Brightspace. If you prefer not to disable these settings, use another supported web browser.
