iOS: Problems with Lockdown Mode (lemmy.world)

Voyager can't open posts or display comments with it enabled, it gets stuck. Also, some user settings aren't "remembered". Any chance of a future fix to correct these problems? Thanks, I enjoy the app very much aside from these issues.

Lockdown mode is not for privacy protection. It’s for cybersecurity. Using web connected apps are an attack vector and so performance on apps, especially apps that are doing background refresh of data for precaching or lazy loads, etc are going to have degraded performance. You could try using the web app version if the native app is being negatively affected

Both things, security and privacy, are sides of the same coin. Hacking is nothing more than remote, and unauthorized, manipulation of data in a device you don't own. If you install a keylogger without the user knowing... are we talking about security, privacy, or both?

Lockdown mode helps with keeping the processes isolated, many typical browser features can be used, and are actively used, to fingerprint users. Data, even metadata, is worth more than money these days, with several AI models being developed, and needing training.
