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 11.1.0
- Adjustments to the user interface to match the new “Liquid Glass” feature in iOS 26
- Supports the menu bar on the iPad running iPadOS 26
- In iOS 26, summaries of web pages (for page information, reading list, and bookmarks) now come from Apple Intelligence (if available).
- iOS 26 includes a new “AI Prompt” feature that allows you to send any prompts to Apple Intelligence (local AI models) to answer questions about the current web page (e.g., summaries). This feature can be accessed via an icon in the toolbars or via the action menu (if AI is available).
- There is a new option for the Action/FavIcon menu to display information about the current page (title, URL, certificates, HTTP headers, summary, permissions).
- Bookmarks can now contain a description and a list of keywords. Both can also be used in the rules of “Smart Folders” to fill these folders with bookmarks.
- The bookmarks in the Quickstarter can now also be changed directly on the Quickstarter page. To do this, activate “Edit” mode and tap on the bookmark.
- The Quickstarter no longer considers the option to open “Links to other domains in new tabs” (since this always involves a different domain), but instead evaluates the option “Open bookmarks in new tabs.”
- When closing the twin browser, the “other” browser is no longer simply closed; instead, you are explicitly asked which of the two should be closed.
- The “AI writing tools” can now be enabled or disabled for the text selection menu.
- New rules for URL-rewriting feature allow automatic redirection from YouTube Shorts to the regular YouTube page (in order to control the video player again), as well as redirection from the regular YouTube page to the “embedded” YouTube player (this reduces the display to the video, all other information is hidden here, and usually also advertising).
- New modules to automatically redirect YouTube Shorts to the regular YouTube page, as well as to redirect YouTube videos to the “embedded” YouTube player (allows manual redirection, as opposed to URL rewriting, which applies automatically to all YouTube videos).
- Bugfix: In Stage Manager on the iPad, the keyboard closed immediately in portrait mode.
