Displaying iframes in ios-app

[Sonofason]

For example this

<iframe src="https://google.de" allow="fullscreen" style="height:100%;width:100%; aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;"></iframe>

works fine on desktop, while on iphone or ipad it´s just blank in reading mode.

While Youtube works, there are a lot of websites, that arent´t displayed in the mobile apps

Canvas web embeds are not rendered on mobile

On desktop, we are able to render websites using a custom Electron tag called <webview>. This renders websites in a separate thread and is essentially a true “embedded” site. On mobile, we use a separate architecture instead of Electron so we are falling back to iframes. Iframes have a lot of shortcomings, the main one being that many websites block being loaded as an iframe. Sadly I don’t see us being able to fix this.
