- TingPing 2mo agoNetworking is very core to webkit of course. But it has apis to block and modify requests.
- afavour 2mo agoBut WKWebView does handle its own networking. You’re able to implement block lists, just the same as you can via browser plugin, but in this instance networking definitely is handled by WebKit.
- Aaargh20318 2mo agoNetworking is handled by WebKit but based on the article it looks like the app configures itself as a HTTP proxy for WebKit and uses that to handle networking.
- inigyou 2mo agoSo it can't do anything about proxy leaks.
