So Google, Microsoft and Apple who fund and build the web browser you are currently using are against the intended use of the web.

I wish more companies would "offend" then.




browser have very explicit rules against this very action by apple.

in your browser, apple.com cannot access the content from jguitar.com


That is not true in several ways. Iframes and cdns work. There are security measures that prevent https connections from embedding http and other content restrictions, but those are for security reasons. People hotlink images, it's a wild web out there


For everything you described there is a tag or http header i can set on my own content to prevent a browser on another domain from 'hotlinking'. If you are the 'browser' as this IOS feature is, there is none. I hope it at least respect the robots.txt rules.
