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 11.0.10
- You can now also enter the name/password for the proxy directly in the proxy settings and do not have to wait until the proxy asks for it
- There is now also an option for menus and gestures to open a page or link in Safari
- For the 2-finger tap gesture, you can now also select “Open in Safari” and “Open in default browser”
- There is a new option in the “User interface” settings to specify how status messages are displayed. The “Notifications” option displays these via the notifications as a “banner”, which automatically closes again after a few seconds (if notifications are allowed as “banners” in the system settings, otherwise nothing is displayed). The “Alertbox” option shows the message as a modal alert box which must be confirmed with “OK”. The “Notifications & Alertbox” option uses the notification if possible, otherwise an alertbox. With the “Off” option, no status messages are displayed in general
- There's a new option available for the contextual menu, which allows to copy the text of a link to the clipboard (and not the link/URL)
- Bugfix: If the size of the (search) history was set to 0, the history was not automatically deleted
- Bugfix: The dotEPUB-Module did not work if the option to enforce background downloads was enabled.
- Bugfix: Importing filters or modules from within the "iCab Mobile" folder of the "Files" App did fail.
Ratings and Reviews
A good app but
Hey I love this thing but this is the second time iCab Mobile deleted my downloaded media on its own 😔 is there a way to restore them? Help
Shadow of what it used to be
I feel terrible for not giving this a good review two or three years ago when it was an amazing app. It was and still is the only "desktop class" browser for iOS; nothing comes close.
It still retains all the features but the performance is now horrible. It loads pages noticeably slower than other browsers and it crashes constantly.
The FAQ on the developer's website lays the blame on iOS11 but iOS12 is here and while I don't know if those OS specific issues are gone, my other browsers are rock solid.
I would give the older versions 6 stars if I could but it is now a shadow of what it used to be.
Best browser
Been using iCab for 8 yrs. It's so good, I find it difficult to switch to other apps. Also, the creator actually replies my emails when I have crashes or issues! Great customer support!!
