Description

Bolt.new runs on top of WebContainers, the in-browser micro-OS built by StackBlitz. This tech is what allows Bolt to run your project entirely inside your browser tab locally, without a remote server or any local tooling installation. You can learn more about WebContainers in the launch blog post here and the website here.

Due to limitations in Safari and Firefox, their support for WebContainers is currently limited. More info can be found here, but the TL;DR is that those browsers are still lacking features that have been added to Chrome and Chromium based browsers.

As a result, we currently recommend Chrome or a Chromium based browser for Bolt/StackBlitz/WebContainers usage! We are hopeful that the other browser vendors will catch up with Chrome, and will provide updated guidance when/if that occurs!
