macos

Symptoms

AROWS (Air Force) or NROWS (Navy) stops at the login page with a browser-incompatible error on macOS.

Likely cause

The site sniffs Safari and refuses it.

Fix

1. Safari > Preferences > Advanced > tick 'Show Develop menu in menu bar'. 2. When the incompatibility page appears, Develop > User Agent > Internet Explorer (6.0+). 3. The page refreshes; for AROWS paste https://arowsr.afrc.af.mil/arows-r; for NROWS click back to the login. Chrome alternative: install User-Agent Switcher and set it to report Internet Explorer.
