If Chrome uses the same engine as Safari on iOS - will the adblockers work there too? iOS9 enabled add-blocking APIs - and there has been a slew of app-blocking applications released. This all appear to target Safari. 

My understanding was that Chrome (on iOS) used the same engine as Safari when rendering pages. 

My question is: If Chrome uses the same engine as Safari on iOS - will the adblockers work there too?

Assumptions


on iOS, Chrome is using iOS WebKit not the Chrome WebKit.
Same rendering engine under the hood (webkit), but different wrappers.
Chrome uses UIWebView which does not include Content Blockers API.

Due to performance, content blockers only work on new apple devices (hardware), and not on UIWebView nor WKWebView.
