Description
iCab Mobile is a web browser for iOS. iCab Mobile is customizable in almost all areas and can thus be made into your very own personal browser.
PRIVACY:
In private mode, no private data is saved permanently. Special private tabs increase privacy even further, with only a small loss of comfort.
PROFILES/USER ACCOUNTS:
Any number of profiles/user accounts can be created, with each profile having its own settings, bookmarks, etc. Profiles are suitable for an iPad that is used by the whole family, but also for users who want to separate professional and private surfing.
TABS, WINDOWS:
iCab Mobile can open any number of websites simultaneously in tabs. Tabs can be saved and organized in groups so that they can easily be loaded together again later. Tabs can be protected against accidental closing or overwriting.
On the iPad, multiple app instances can be opened as windows (Stage Manager, Split View), even with multiple profiles simultaneously (since iOS 18).
FILTERS:
Filters can be used to block advertising, trackers, etc. Popular filter lists can be used directly (Easylist, AdBlock Plus, uBlock & compatible), but you can also define your own.
USER INTERFACE:
The user interface is freely configurable. Action, context and text selection menus, toolbars and gestures can be adapted to your own needs.
ACCESSIBLE:
The user interface is barrier-free and adapts to the system font size and is compatible with VoiceOver.
BOOKMARKS:
Bookmarks can be organized in folders. “Smart folders” create special collections based on self-defined rules (e.g. the latest bookmarks from the last 2 weeks). Colored labels allow further categorization.
DOWNLOADS:
Download any files and manage the files in the download manager, including unpacking/creating ZIP archives, exporting/importing, etc.
SEARCH:
The app offers a large list of search engines (self-expandable) that you can use to search directly on the web. It is also possible to search on the current page.
WEBSITES:
You can define what websites can and cannot do. Highlight important content with a highlighter, hide unwanted elements, allow buttons to be clicked automatically (e.g. for cookie messages). Control permissions for camera, microphone and sensor usage. Pro users can even inject JavaScript and CSS code into websites to customize them to their liking.
EXPORT/IMPORT:
All data can be exported/imported (for creating backups, data synchronization with other devices/apps)
WIDGETS:
Widgets allow you to control the App and open bookmarks directly from the home screen. Websites can also be displayed directly there.
APPLE WATCH:
Open websites directly on the Apple Watch (albeit limited). Remotely control iCab Mobile on the iPhone from the Watch.
FURTHER FEATURES:
- Quick starter
- Configurable browser ID (UserAgent)
- Full support for international domain names
- Simple built-in RSS reader
- Kiosk mode - a more limited version of the full-screen mode for kiosk systems.
The app includes a store where you can give us a tip via InApp purchase to additionally support the further development of the app. The development of the app takes a lot of time and is a lot of work, which the low purchase price cannot cover. Te sources of income used by the big popular browsers, such as advertising, deals with search engines, tracking etc. are not an option for iCab Mobile.
Tipping is completely voluntary and you won't miss out on any important features if you don't tip. However, users who tip will be given the option to change the app icon as a thank you.
What’s New
Version 11.2.1
- When creating new User Profiles, it is now also possible to clone existing profiles (which includes bookmarks, settings, etc), which makes it easy if you want to have mutliple profiles with the same configuration. However downloads, history, caches and cookies are not "cloned", and if the original profile is protected (password, FaceID/TouchID), you need to authenticate for this profile to be able to clone it.
- Improved the way plain text files are opened to preserve their original formatting
- Bugfix: Under iOS 26 it could happen when lanuching the App in a way that would automatically activate the addressfield that the address field was party covered by a second address field.
- Bugfix: Extremely large files (several GB) in the download manager could crash when opening the contextual menu for these files.
- Added a workaround where the iOS would have incorrectly redirected certain links to their "native" App (Universal links) when restoring the state of a web view
Ratings and Reviews
Best iOS Web Browser
This has been my web browser for many years now. Thanks to all of the customisation, I’ve been able to configure the browser to make it optimal for my usage. The only downside is that other browsers feel more clunky in comparison.
I appreciate all the work that continues to be funnelled into this app and have zero hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wants to have a highly customisable and optimisable web browser.
Fully Featured
iOS web browser that deserves a lot more attention than it gets, I have been using this for years and haven't found another browser that offers the amount of functionality and customizability that this one does. The only shortcomings I have are with the limitations of the WebKit browser engine itself, such as lack of flash and webm support. The download manager is extremely useful and the customizability of the UI is second to none.
Great app
This is an amazing browser with soooo much customisation available, there are two things I would ask to be changed though.
1. The icon for quickstart bookmarks should be able to be changed so that it can have the websites logo or whatever
2. The tabs icon should be changed around so that it’s easier to switch tabs with one hand, especially on the iPhone X it’s quite high up
