This is significant progress, since earlier, despite the fact that Todesko hacked some versions of iOS 10, he categorically stated that he had no plans to develop a full-fledged jailbreak.

Using a web browser-based jail loader, he turned to one of the most painful points of the jailbreak of the iOS 9.3.3 system, which was the certification requirement of the application developer to download. Safari-based jailbreak is very rare, so it was very impressive that Todesco was able to release a Safari-based solution to issue a certificate to install the Pangu 9.3.3 jailbreak.
