iCab Reviewmy default browser - Version: 4.7, 10/11/2009 01:52AM PST

iCab is a very small and very fast browser. It has outstanding security features, many different identities to optimize surfing, full control of all features, strong password memory and an unusual but extremely useful ability to save the page as pdf file (for bank statements, receipts, etc.). It also has superior text encoding allowing to correctly render foreign language files unreadable in several other browsers. It is constantly improving and can easily rival or beat many commercial browsers. iCab users enjoy personalized, fast, and professional customer support and Alexander actually listens to comments and improves the product constantly. My only suggestion would be to implement an option found so far only in Flock: treat attachments in webmail as links and have an option "save the link as". Highly recommend this browser.

iCab had languished for quite a while some time back. But, when it came back, it had really improved. I still use Safari ore often just die to convenience, but iCab is an excellent browser, too.

I have been using iCab on and off since OS 8 days, and I'm pleased to commend the developer for continuing to support OS 8.5 & 9 as I have a few clients that still! use those systems. Internet Explorer and Netscape are not nearly as capable as iCab on those systems.

Although I mostly use Safari in OS 10, I keep most of the dozen or so different browsers on my systems for testing purposes, and iCab performs with the best of them. Great preference set, and very compact footprint. Firefox takes forever to boot up, while iCab launches faster than Safari.

One suggestion though: give us a color choice on the toolbar buttons. The yellow is a bit garish. Maybe a blue, teal, and purple choice would be nice. Something a bit more soothing. And I kind of miss the tacky little yellow cab progress indicator with it's cloud of exhaust.
