Excellent browser with many features

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: PQXYZ33 Wednesday, December 31 2008 @ 07:36 PM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: YES

I have tried every browser that I could find for OS 10.4.11 and eventually settled on iCab as my default browser. Why? Because it is fast, stable, has an interface I like (without having to use a third party add-on such as Saft--I hate the brushed metal look of Safari) and offers many pref setting options not available in most of the other browsers. Plus, iCab's Forms Manager makes it likely to be less of a security risk than any of the other browsers.

The one thing I have discovered about the settings that might be a help to others: for max compatibility with various sites, choosing "Safari 3, Mac OS X" seems to work without a hitch, whereas "Identity for best compatibility" does not.

Excellent browser with many features - macnerd10

I agree with you and also have it as default browser. One more thing: it allows you to save internet files (screen shots) as pdf - others would not simply do that. Concerning identity, the best one is custom. Hit user defined and paste this into the window:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/525.26.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.2 Safari/525.26.12
