GREGORGY  iCab rocks. End of story.

Safari, on two Macs, just goes south when a PDF link is clicked. iCab keeps quiet and does what it should.

And as for finding errors on webpages, old smiley cannot be beat! I have been an on/off iCab user since the classic days and have always loved it. It is my browser of choice and well worth the $20...

I have never regretted the purchase but I will say one thing: it really could do with a remember username/password thing like Firefox. Besides that, no beating iCab

TOMECK  Agreed. Maybe it is of interest that you could ´fix´ the ´username/password thing´ by using 1password, which integrates with iCab since some time now... works great for me.

TACALIT  Really good browser, I'm planning to buy it as i did with the iPhone version.

I guess the developer will find a way to easily keep synched the bookmarks between iCab, iCab Mobile and Safari as, for istance, xmarks is doing between Firefox and Safari.

STROB  I would have purchased iCab except Silverlight crashes it. Normally responsive developer says it is a problem with the plug-in. But this is not logical since this behavior can not be replicated in any other browser I have. Please fix this as I am confident you could.

BONGO_X  I love it. Safari is OK, I like Camino and it was my default browser for a long time. No browser I tried was exactly what I wanted so I went searching and tried icab, which I hadn't used since OS9. It has everything I want, every feature, and is totally customizable. The only issue is that some of the features are not obvious and are easy to miss. Everything I thought was a shortcoming was soon proven not to be with an email to the developer.

So I gave him my $25. Well worth it.

XENOS  unless i'm missing something (so, please, correct me if so), i'd just have one one single request:

allow adding bookmarks on top of the relative folder (like with OmniWeb) instead of adding it to the end of the list and i'll use iCab as my default web browser.

KILLER KLOWN KAR  Google should quit messing around with their broken down Chrome for OSX and just buy this and tweak it around to their liking. A better world is sometimes a simple thing.
