Troubleshooting
Supported browsers
Use a current version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge — not an in-app browser.
For travelers and guides1 min readUpdated September 24, 2026
Rainbow Tour Guides works in current versions of the major browsers. We don't maintain a strict minimum-version list — the rule of thumb is: if your browser updates itself regularly, you're fine.
Recommended browsers
- Chrome
- Safari
- Firefox
- Edge
Keep whichever one you use up to date (see The site isn't working on my phone or browser for how to check). JavaScript and cookies need to be enabled — the site won't function without them.
The most common surprise: in-app browsers
If you tap a Rainbow Tour Guides link from inside Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, or a similar app, it usually opens in that app's own built-in browser rather than your phone's regular one. These in-app browsers often can't complete sign-in, the security check, or Stripe checkout, even though the rest of the site looks fine.
How to open it in your real browser:
- Look for a menu icon (usually three dots, or a share icon) in the in-app browser's toolbar.
- Choose Open in Chrome, Open in Safari, Open in browser, or similar wording.
- If there's no such option, copy the link and paste it directly into your phone's browser app.
Quick fixes if a page still misbehaves
- Confirm you're in your device's actual browser app, not an in-app browser.
- Update the browser to its latest version.
- Reload the page.
- Try a private/incognito window to rule out a stuck extension or cache — see The page is blank or broken.
