8+### Canvas Issues
9+
10+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.
11+
12+If there are no instructions for your browser, or the instructions don't work, please file a ticket on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/urbit/bridge/issues)
