🙏 Please help confirm if Datadog RUM triggers a redirection to "about:blank."

What are you trying to achieve and what is your issue? Please describe.
Our project enabled datadog RUM for our web application, via loading https://www.datadoghq-browser-agent.com/us1/v6/datadog-rum.js

  window.DD_RUM.onReady(function() {
    window.DD_RUM.init({
      clientToken: 'xxxx',
      applicationId: 'xxxxxx',
      site: 'datadoghq.com',
      service: 'ebanking',
      env: <%= raw json_escape(EnvConfig.env.to_json) %>,
      version: <%= raw json_escape(Version.number.to_json) %>,
      sessionSampleRate: 100,
      sessionReplaySampleRate: 0,
      defaultPrivacyLevel: 'mask',
      **trackResources: true,**
      trackUserInteractions: false,
    });

    window.DD_RUM.setUser({
      id: window.uuid,
      session_id: window.suid,
    });
  })

In website, it works great, but in our iOS App, which loads the web application via Webview, we encountered an strange issue.
As we can observe from iOS's logs, the flow looks like:

• The user click a nav bar item, a URL is loaded.
• Before the user can see the normal page, the webview is redirected to a blank page(about:blank).
  It happened once the user gets into our App and load the very first web page.
  Through debugging, we found sth:
  when updating trackResources: true to trackResources: false, the user can see the normal page, and only when datadog sends data, the page is redirected to the "abount:blank".

Describe alternatives you've considered
We can fix the issue by blocking any redirection for "abount:blank" in native side

Describe the solution you'd like
We would like to know if datadog do it in purpose, and if we can have a better solution to fix. We have read the source codes but didn't find anything related to "abount:blank".

Thanks for your support.
