AFAIK that hasn't been true for years. WKWebView (as opposed to the old UIWebView) lets you use the full speed JS engine.
- playpause 6y agoAh, just googled it, you're right, they did eventually make the Nitro engine available in webviews. But my main point is that it's not exactly the same, they restrict certain features, and so it should never be expected that modern functionality will work in webviews just because it works in Safari.
