This is my new review of this awesome browser

iCab, available in beta versions for years now, is fast, flexible and takes very little RAM. It runs well on MHz-challenged Macs and is one of the nicest browsers currently available for OS X. To my knowledge it is the only Mac browser that runs on every environment: 68k, PPC and OS X. Support for CSS1 is currently being integrated. Version 2.9.x includes dozens of new features and what is being promised for the final 3.0 version should be able to make iCab one of the top Macintosh browsers. (As of version 2.5.2 you can actually pay for using this fine program. I suggest that thousands of us do exactly that!) 3.0.x is currently available. It offers a new rendering engine and is based on Unicode. So, with no support for Unicode on systems older than 8.5, there will be no 68k version of iCab 3.0. Versions 2.9.9 and 2.9.9a are for older 68k Macs (Mac OS 7.1-8.1) and PPC Macs (Mac OS 7.6.1-9.x). iCab 4.0 is now available for Mac OS 10.3.9 and later - version 3.0.5 is for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and older and Mac OS 8.5-9.2.2.
