Unfortunately that is not true. The native content blockers that you can install for Safari will only work in Safari.
Apps like Feedly, or Firefox, will have to do additional work to include _their own_ content blocking.
- scarface74 9y agoThere are multiple ways to embed a webview in an app. The SFSafariViewController is an out of process webview that you can embed in your app. It can share cookies with Safari and it will use whatever content blocker you have installed. The hosting app doesn't have any access to the cookies or any information you type in. Feedly uses this web view. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32681511/deactive-ios-9-safari-content-blocking-from-within-the-app https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32681511/deactive-ios-9-... Firefox doesn't use SFSafariViewController. It uses the WKWebView (?). The WKWebView gives the hosting app a lot more control over the webview and whatever you do in the webview is accessible to the hosting app. Cookies, bookmarks, etc. are not available to the hosting app.
- st3fan 9y agoAh yes I see now that Feedly has an "Open Webpage Directly" option. I've never used that before since I prefer the Feedly rendered version. I know what Firefox for iOS uses.
