            Bug ID: 190961
           Summary: Feature Request: Expose Content Blockers in WKWebView
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 12
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 12
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: tomac at google.com

Content Blockers (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/ContentBlocker.html) allow users to block unwanted content like social widgets, trackers, etc. Currently, this functionality is exposed to SFSafariViewController as well as Safari itself, however not to WKWebView. While developers can in theory reimplement their own content blocking rules (like, for example, in the Brave browser: https://brave.com/features/), the user through their system-level Content Blockers has already expressed their blocking choices, so it would be desirable if they were respected universally.
