it is clear that network extension can intercept the traffic from safari .;

does it also intercept the traffic from chrome, edge, firefox and opera ?

Answered by DTS Engineer in 418217022

A content filter should see traffic from third-party browsers. On iOS this is an interesting edge case because, depending on how the browser works, you might get a

NEFilterBrowserFlow

or a

NEFilterSocketFlow

flow. However, macOS only supports the latter, so that’s not a concern in a sysex.

If you want to ‘try before you buy’, you should play around with the Filtering Network Traffic sample code.
