- wlesieutre 11y agoI thought Safari doesn't even allow this anymore because of all the popup forwarder spam?
- alexbilbie 11y agoI still experience it every so often (iOS 8.4.1). The last time it happened it was on Techcrunch
- wlesieutre 11y agoI see. Looks like they were at least to be blocked, but the system either wasn't shipped or doesn't work reliably. http://sentrant.com/2015/03/12/safari-to-app-store-redirect-from-ad-on-ios-8-2/ http://sentrant.com/2015/03/12/safari-to-app-store-redirect-...
- twoodfin 11y agoUIWebView is definitely still vulnerable, as I've seen it when browsing sites through the default Twitter iOS client. Not as frequently as in the past, however.
- jakejake 11y agoFacebook links used to be so bad with this until they changed something in the built-in browser to catch them. Now every time I get a "this page is trying to leave the app" confirmation box I feel extremely satisfied that the redirect was squashed.
