Supported browsers differ for the Pendo Web SDK, the Pendo application, and the Pendo Visual Design Studio.
For the web SDK
The Pendo Web SDK handles all front-end data and renders your guides. The Pendo Web SDK supports and is tested to work with the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 9 and above (including Microsoft Edge).
- All versions of Chrome, Safari, and Firefox since 2010.
Pendo works on other niche browsers, such as Opera and Vivaldi, but we don't actively test these.
For the Pendo application
The Pendo application refers to anything that's accessed through app.pendo.io, app.eu.pendo.io, app.jpn.pendo.io, or us1.app.pendo.io, including Pendo Feedback. The application supports and is tested to work with the following browsers:
- Microsoft Edge (latest version)
- Google Chrome (latest version)
- Mozilla Firefox (latest version)
- Safari (latest version)
For the Visual Design Studio
The Visual Design Studio is the tagging and guide-authoring interface that launches over or next to your application. The Visual Design Studio runs on the following browsers:
- Microsoft Edge
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Safari (version 13.03 and earlier)
Chrome
As of January 4, 2024, Google Chrome started restricting third-party cookies, which also sometimes affect local storage. This can prevent you from tagging and creating guides in Pendo unless you enable third-party cookies. For more information, see Cookies and local storage.
Safari
Safari implemented a different security called Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) to restrict sharing cookies between first and third-party apps. As of February 20, 2020, ITP (version 2.3) is included in Safari on macOS for High Sierra and above. ITP prevents Pendo from launching the Visual Design Studio because Pendo leverages cookies to launch the designer over your application.
Currently, the Visual Design Studio isn't supported in Safari version 13.04 and later, which includes all actively supported versions of Safari. If you attempt to launch the designer in Safari, you can still access and use the Pendo Visual Design Studio from a different supported browser.
