Kahua for Browser runs on WebAssembly and is dependent upon WebAssembly's browser compatibility. WebAssembly's browser support compatibility can be viewed here.
Safari Users: Due to issues in Safari's WebAssembly compatibility, Kahua does not currently support Safari. Web users should use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox to access Kahua.
Mobile Users: Kahua for Browser is not supported on mobile devices. Users with Android or iOS devices should download the application from the respective store. Links are below.
* Kahua for Browser requires a 64-bit browser.
** 32-bit Chrome (or any other 32-bit browser) is not compatible with our host and will not run. Please install and use 64-bit Chrome.
*** Edge with Enhanced Security (either Basic or Strict) is currently not supported. Edge Enhanced Security is a new feature of Edge introduced in Version 111, release date of March 13th, 2023. If you happen to run into this issue, please add kahua.com to the list of domains not enforcing enhanced security. This can be done by an IT team through a Group Policy. For more information, refer to Enhanced Security Browser Settings.
