What's New
Version 4.8:
  • The German built-in help improved (thanks to Ronny Klang)
  • In the experimental settings there's a new option for the kiosk mode: It's now possible to allow downloads to USB sticks and also to extract ZIP archives after the download automatically.
  • SVG images are now treated just like ordinary images when no SVG plugin is installed. This way the image zoom does also work for SVG.
  • The JavaScript feature "localStorage" is now supported.

Superb browser! Fast and customizable.

One thing annoys me though: if I have set some own CSS rules for a specific page and leave it (press the homepage button or a bookmark), the elements and advertisements (that I have disabled with the filter manager) appear on the page for about a second before the new page comes to the screen.

Hope you can understand what I mean. Is this behaviour changeable?

ICab 5 has been out [in beta?] now for quite some time and just keeps improving the browsing experience. Every time answer version of some browser comes out, I try it out and always-ALWAYS-return to iCab. Why? It is fast. It is slick. The add ons are great [esp. Readability]. Did I mention that it is fast? Super fast!

Try it out. You might be converted and see what you've been missing.

This seems to be a very stable and very fast browser, but boy is the GUI atrocious. The buttons are so blurry they don't even look like they belong on the browser window. They haven't updated this browser in almost a year... but they did just release a new mobile version of their browser, so hopefully a new desktop version will be available soon... and maybe with less scary looking buttons.

Came back to my paid version of iCab and now I remember why I like it so much:
1) Fastest browser around
2) Option to kill ads
3) Extremely stable
4) It just plain works

iCab, Safari, and Omniweb are my favorites, but iCab is my default — five stars all around.

This is the BEST Mac Browser available! Just my opinion, hehe...

It works great with Flash and especially Flash games

It really is awesome! The options are endless. But, they may be hard to find as it doesn't present them like Safari or FireFox. Just explore and you will find them.

Highly recommended!

2KTZ, Try this link: http://www.icab.de/faq.html
The very first question in the FAQ may provide the information you are looking for.

Which Button Is The Any Key? commented on 18 Jul 2010
David1 is right, configuring the HTTP Referrer to be always sent (iCab Preferences > Network settings) is all it takes to get the eBay display issue solved. But as the iCab website advises you, it is not the safest option so I would only do it when browsing eBay.

to david1 and "which button..."

thanks for the advice...having read the info on the FAQ page i think i will just keep using safari to view ebay as after reading advice of what it says there about http etc think i would feel better if i didn't mess around with HTTP settings...

Yes, you can make eBay work, but why isn't there option to seperately set HTML referral for each site?

Use iCab's Filter Manager to set up a filter for eBay with the referrer setting you need.

i have spent weeks trying to understand the filter manager and still not sure how it works or how to use it, as i said i have messed around with this for weeks and the system ID to no avail....so i think i will when i use e-bay use safari or just stop using icab altogether....

i have not touched any of the filters yet as i am not sure how to use them
it may have had something to do with me changing the browser ID

though i have noticed it not allowing some flash stuff not to work that safari does...

willhave to have a slow read through the filter manager and see how to use it..is it like click to flash?? as i have that on the latest safari

well seemed it was click to flash that caused the " go upgrade" problem having downloaded the new stable version of that it's fine.

though it seems icab really does not like layout of things on e-bay..once you click for info on something you can't see location of product etc so i am having to pop into safari to do this i have played with preferences in icab see if i can over come this but to no joy...

anyone have any suggestions about this?

Moebian73 had trouble on 28 Aug 2006
I downloaded iCab 3.0.3, but when I try to unDMG it, it gives me "no mountable file systems" as a warning. I've unstuffed many DMGs, why is this warning popping up?

As far as iCab is concerned, I think it's a great broswer. People tend to be picky, very picky, on their browsers. They want everything...EVERYTHING. iCab is good for those slower Macs, that have little HD space, and good for browsing the web like I do.
