- prmoustache 2y agoThat wouldn't prevent possible malware apps using WKWebview from getting out of the jail they are running out right?
- hashstring 2y agoYes, I agree. However I also expect that Swift-compiled apps can do this without a web browser component. It’s a different threat model though, having installed a malicious app vs browsing a malicious site.

- tholdem 2y agoNo need to turn JS off. Turn on Lockdown mode which disables Javascript JIT and WASM, which might be enough
- saagarjha 2y agoIt’s not.
- walterbell 2y agoBrave on iOS can limit Javascript to trusted sites.
- jmkni 2y agoSo could this hypothetically open a mail client on your iPhone and read your emails?
- saagarjha 2y agoNo, it doesn’t do cross-address space attacks.
