I hope they fixed the Safari bug where even though Private mode is enabled, clicking on webviews within apps will still cookie the hell out of you. This used to not be the case.
- mikewhy 9y agoI thought "Private Mode" was just a set of tabs in Safari. As in it doesn't actually put you in "private mode", nor any app using Safari View Controller.
- ProfessorLayton 9y agoCorrect, it used to work as follows: - Private mode was enabled by a switch in Safari settings: No cookies/storage in any tabs and in webview controllers - The switch in settings was then removed, and Private mode is enabled in the tab view in Safari — However, the setting used to carry into app webviews - There is no longer a way to not be tracked in app webviews. You'll be cookied by apps, and you need to manually clear everything in Safari settings. This is a step backwards from how it used to work.
- DavideNL 9y agoIn my experience, this always has been the case - unfortunately :-(
