Ask HN: How does WebKit ITP work?

5 pointsby d-z-m8 months ago
I recently heard about a feature of WebKit, ITP(Intelligent Tracking Prevention)[0] and I&#x27;m curious as to how it works. Specifically, I&#x27;m curious whether other browsers that use WebKit on iOS are making use of this functionality by default, since articles about ITP make imply that the default setting is &quot;enabled&quot;.<p>Is this technology transparent to the developer building on top of WebKit, or are there specific APIs that have to be invoked in order to use this technology?<p>[0]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;webkit.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;7675&#x2F;intelligent-tracking-prevention&#x2F;
