I downvoted this because it is nonsense. And in this case it is broken because this site depends on a browser extension. A native browser extension.

All browsers have these sort of bugs. This is not unique to WebKit. All browsers have "quirks". All browsers have parts of standard APIs that they implement incompletely or slightly different. None of this is unique to WebKit.

Games and apps have been doing this for a decade. Apple does not care. As long as you are operating in the spirit of their App Store. You know when they care? When you start charging money for those downloads. Via an alternative payment cha

If something is crippled in Firefox for iOS, nine out of ten times it is because Apple severely limited the exposed APIs of WKWebView. All browsers that are based on WKWebView are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Not sure why this is downvoted because gcp is correct. Apple has decided that Content Blocking is a Safari only feature. Apple has made the decision to not expose the private APIs in WKWebView that would allow browsers like Chrome and Firef

1Password only works in non-Safari browsers if those apps include a less optimal SDK that provides a generic password filling conduit. It is not something that WKWebView automagically does. See https://github.com/AgileBits&#

How about networking improvements? I gave up on PhantomJS a long time ago because it did not support SNI and was therefore unable to talk to most HTTPS sites. Is that situation better now with this new release and the newer Qt underneath?
