> , so url bar tells you you're on a website

Is this even the case anymore? On Android, all my URL bars peel up into the top of the screen as I browse, and I'm pretty sure a website can capture the vertical swipe/arrange an inner-scrolling element to make it very difficult to quickly get the URL bar visible again.

I think that would be enough to trick most users. This seems like an unnecessary limitation

This is iOS, though, where the URL bar is always at least minimally present.

On safari, but not on for example Edge for iOS or Chrome for iOS.

Huh. I’m surprised apple didn’t make it a requirement before approving those apps into their store given how strong their stance on privacy is.

Is this security feature present on Edge or Chrome on iOS?
