So.
Apparently passing a link to an inline SFSafariViewController benefits from installed ad blockers on iOS.
Which I’d have never guessed since the Google app most assuredly does *not* behave this way.
And now I’m slightly miffed.

@dfinity.bsky.social you have a bug on id.ai that breaks in IOS- form_post blocked in SFSafariViewController. Google/MS work fine, but it’s on GitHub files as issue 4259

When you choose IAB, does it open in ACT / sfsafariviewcontroller? That would at least bring your default browser (ACT) or a fairly competent browser (SSVC) into the app. Or is it the bad kind where they open a webview?

Simple, right? But no, every time the webview loads, it tells me there’s a problem. Reconfigured the webview, modified the web page, nothing. Opened the same page in Safari (both the browser app and within an SFSafariViewController) and it worked just fine. (Con’t) #iosdev

Why is SFSafariViewController downloading UX so different compared to Safari?
LEFT: Safari (normal)
RIGHT: SFSafariViewController
To download with SFSVC click "More", Scroll, then select saving to photos or files.

@xeenon.bsky.social Friendly reminder before next WWDC: Safari extensions on iOS would be amazing in third-party apps and SFSafariViewController! I hoping for this in iOS 19. Happy coding! #SafariExtensions

this is SFSafariViewController, I’m just asking if we should give the option to initialise it in reader mode or not

Yeah thats completely fair, especially for custom webview ones like Facebook etc. but this would be SFSafariViewController which I think is less dangerous

I don't know what the default should be… I'm strongly pro in-app browser (SFSafariViewController, not the Facebook kind), but I know others are strongly against it. Not sure what the proportion is, esp. in a more general population…
