If the app uses a 'Safari View Controller' then it works just fine... That is something app developers can opt-in to, and it also provides the fastest browsing experience for users.

So that's why Twitter web views have ads even with content blockers enabled?

What's holding Twitter back? They've had updates recently.

Safari View Controller can't be branded to fit with Twitter's app design.
