In this article, we are going to understand how to create a custom Content Blocker for our WebView instances using the flutter_inappwebview plugin.

Content Blockers are usually used for blocking ads, but you can also block any other content. Blocking behaviors include hiding elements, blocking loads, and, on iOS and macOS, stripping cookies from the WebView requests.

Keep in mind that, in general, Content Blockers cannot achieve the same level of functionalities as specialized extensions such as AdBlock or AdBlock Plus. Content Blockers are a set of rules that will never get any callbacks or notifications back from the WebView when it finds content it needs to block.

Through the contentBlockers property of the InAppWebViewSettings class, we can define a list of ContentBlocker instances that the WebView will use.
