Safari not working on Vanguard
The "Prevent cross-site tracking" issue with Safari is a know and avoidable problem but lately I cannot open mail or view and purchase Treasuries at Vanguard unless I use Google Chrome. Any solutions or ideas?

Keep using Chrome.

Probably my only solution Pizzy but I was hoping someone has seen this problem and solved it. Possibly a newer Safari version was downloaded automatically with a bug?
Re: Safari not working on Vanguard
I have found that quite a few web sites don't behave well with Safari. I only use it sparingly on my iPad. My main computer is Windows so I have standardized on Brave which seems to be easier to tune the built in script blocking on a site by site basis.forwhatiknow wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 8:50 am Probably my only solution Pizzy but I was hoping someone has seen this problem and solved it.

Re: Safari not working on Vanguard
I use Safari too.
CDs/Bonds page access on VG was not working for me for a couple of weeks. During this time, I had to also login twice i.e. enter password on the main page, then the site would land me at logon.vanguard.com page, where I would need to enter pwd a 2nd time and then get in.
About 3-4 days ago, both of these issues got resolved. I have not updated either my OS or browser version. I am on Safari v15.6.1, if it helps.
I should also add that i am seeing a new dashboard page, coinciding with the resolution of these issues.

I don't use Safari but with other browsers, if there is a recurring problem, I clear the cookies and cache, which usually resolves the issue.
Re: Safari not working on Vanguard
I use apple phones, Dell/windows laptops…. And chrome browser across all devices. I never have issues and everything is synced up nicely.

Well many use mac, ios and everything synchs up nicely without google.
I do not trade individual bonds/CDs but for all functions I do use Safari works fine on Vanguard.

Re: Safari not working on Vanguard
Thanks for the feedback Bogelheads. So I guess I figured it out this way; instead of clicking on "Products and Plans" to get to Treasury Bond rates and trading in them(which worked before) I clicked on "Transact" to access treasuries and then make purchases. In this rare event I was able to overcome this issue myself. Thank you for trying to aid me though because it usually is only someone else's expertise that helps to solve my problem
Re: Safari not working on Vanguard
Safari bond page now works, at least for me, without having to disable cross-site tracking and without dumping cookies.
