I use Apple’s new Lockdown Mode on the beta iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. I generally like it. It largely disables arbitrary JavaScript, as far as I know. A few times a week, I will turn off Lockdown temporarily for a few minutes for a web site if there are any problems. This is usually Amazon.com’s Kindle preview feature.
- MBCook 4y agoDo we know if lockdown’s JS protection applies to apps using WKWebView? That could flat out break a lot of apps. I thought lockdown mostly applied to system stuff (including Safari).
- leodriesch 4y agoLockdown mode is a security measure and not a privacy one. It disables JavaScript JIT compilation, which makes it slower but more secure. It should not disable any JavaScript execution itself.
