Horrible! Glaciers move faster! - Version: 3.0.5, 7/30/2008 02:40PM PST

I keep finding glowing reviews for this awful browser. They can't possibly be talking about the same thing. Absolutely the slowest browser in the universe for mac classic. For some reason I go back to it about once a month to see if anything has changed.
I'm running a G4 with a gig of memory on OS9.2.2 and this thing takes over 10 minutes to load a google page. Sometimes. Oh, and the shareware notice comes up every time you open it, too. I can't believe anyone running classic has ever actually paid.
The best I've been able to find is WaMCom aka Mozilla 1.3.1...Fortunately I have OSX on my machine (but practically no software for it) for those times that sites just won't work in classic.
Why oh why won't somebody develop something that works all the time on a classic mac?
Avoid this turkey.

This is no longer usable. Slow and crashes after non-use if the page you leave it on hass RSS feeds. Not modern enough for todays web. Will go back to Netscape 7.02 when on a classic MacOS machine

iCab Sucks on any version of OS X ..Slow is an understatement - Version: 3.0.5, 1/19/2008 12:00AM PST

Do a major overhaul iCab slacker coders, or just give up and go home.
