iCab 4.0 passes the Acid Test 2 (link on iCab site), which is failed by Firefox 2.0.0.11 and Camino 1.5.4, but on the other hand when I go to one of my frequent pages (my photo gallery at http://mmt369.deviantart.com/gallery/), it was rejected with a message that I should use Safari 3.0.4 or Firefox. The HTML-checking happyface was glum, and the listing showed many errors, but then I haven't seen a page for which it did show a happy face. I've gone back to using Camino as my default browser. Nevertheless, it seems nice most of the time, and I may go back to using it.

If a badly written web page insists that you have to use Safari or Firefox, then you can usually nevertheless access this page with iCab. Just select the "Safari 3" identity in the "View" menu of iCab, for example. This way the page "thinks" that iCab is Safari and lets it access the site.

Incidentally, you are wrong: http://mmt369.deviantart.com/gallery/ opens OK, and I added it to my bookmarks!
