Browser Support
D2L is committed to performing key application testing when new browser versions are released. However,
due to the frequency of some browser releases, D2L cannot guarantee that each browser version will perform
as expected. If you encounter any issues with any of the browser versions listed in the tables below, contact
D2L Support, who will determine the best course of action for resolution. Reported issues are prioritized by
supported browsers and then maintenance browsers.
Supported browsers are the latest or most recent browser versions that are tested against new versions of
D2L products. Customers can report problems and receive support for issues. For an optimal experience, D2L
recommends using supported browsers with D2L products.
Maintenance browsers are older browser versions that are not tested extensively against new versions of D2L
products. Customers can still report problems and receive support for critical issues; however, D2L does not
guarantee all issues will be addressed. A maintenance browser becomes officially unsupported after one year.
