When I go to <a href="https://leaks.psylo.app" rel="nofollow">https://leaks.psylo.app</a> on "Possible IP leaks" side I see only "WebAuthn" with my real IP and, occasionally, WebTransport with an incorrect IP. For "HTTPS Traffic" it always show some other relay. Using Safari 26.5<p>I'm not sure what would I use WebAuthn for, if ever, maybe I could disable it through "Feature Flags" menu?; regardless, I never treat Apple's services as "premium", since the email fingerprinting thing. I pay mainly for Hide My Email, just to organise things per domain, and it's cheap.
Weird advertising on site: "Psylo is our privacy-first browser for iOS and iPadOS"<p>Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Apple disallow any actual 3rd party browser engines? Like, any browser on iOS that isn't the standard safari is just a skin on top of webkit/safari. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence that some third party browser will be able to implement things any better (as compared to like, running Firefox on Android, which actually implements the firefox browser engine).
My read is that the main value prop is that they configure the WKWebView to not share any state cross-tabs. In the post they state that they've disabled DNS prefetch, WebTransport and WebAuthn so obviously they're hardening beyond what ships in Safari (though some of this may already be covered by lockdown mode).
Networking is not handled by the rendering engine, which is an only a part of a browser app. That’s a credible claim.
But 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.
Networking is very core to webkit of course. But it has apis to block and modify requests.

I love iCloud private relay, but I need a way to turn it off. A command line utility would be amazing, along with the ability to turn off/on DNS-over-HTTP.
