iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iOS. It provides many unique and useful features you won't find in other iPhone browsers.
APPLE WATCH:
The Watch App is a remote control for iCab Mobile, so you can navigate, zoom, scroll, open bookmarks, links, the homepage, switch tabs or sitch on/off the fullscreen mode. Since watchOS 6.2 you can also open web pages and browse the Web directly on the Apple Watch. But there are still limitations: there are no navigation buttons (back/forward) available.
FILE UPLOADS:
iCab Mobile can upload any files on web pages.
SEARCHING:
iCab Mobile comes with several default search engines you can choose from. You can easily add new search engines.
FILLING OUT FORMS:
iCab Mobile can save web forms and restore the form content later (manually or automatically). The saved forms data can be password protected. Supports many third-party Password Manager Apps as well.
FILTERS:
There’s a built-in fully customizable filter feature. It allows to block resources, ads, banners, user tracking scripts, cookies etc. Supports AdBlock Plus/EasyList filters as well.
TABS:
iCab Mobile supports Tabs, so you can open multiple web pages at the same time. Links can be opened in Tabs (in the foreground or background) manually or automatically.
BOOKMARKS:
Bookmarks can be organized in folders. You can import/export the bookmarks from/to your PC/Mac browser.
FULLSCREEN MODE:
iCab Mobile provides a fullscreen mode where the whole screen is used to display the web page. No screen space is wasted for toolbars.
DOWNLOADS:
iCab Mobile has a built-in Download Manager so you can download almost all files from the internet. The downloads can be easily transfered to a Mac/PC/Linux computer but also to other Apps on the device which can open these files
MULTIUSER SUPPORT
You can create multiple user accounts, each user has its own private bookmarks, filters, settings, etc.
DROPBOX
iCab Mobile supports Dropbox. Export/Import bookmarks; transfer downloads, images, files, web pages to your Dropbox account.
TWIN BROWSER:
In this mode, you can have two browsers side by side on the iPad. This is especially useful on the large iPad Pro.

The App is also accessible for visually impaired and blind users. If VoiceOver is enabled, the App plays soft ticks while a page is loading, so blind users are able to identify when the page load has finished.

The App includes a store providing several InApp purchases. These are meant as a tip jar. The InApp purchases are available for different prices, so you can pick the amount for the tip yourself. Doing so will unlock a few cool features as a reward, these are always the same, regardless of the amount of the tip. Users who have purchased the App within the last 12 months do get all these features for free, no need to buy one of the InApp purchases. Though they can nevertheless give me a tip, if they want to... ;-)

Possible bug in version 10.7.4
I have Google in a pinned tab, and in my Google search settings, I have enabled the option that search results should open in a new window. Since version 10.7.4 however, with the new setting “Skip tracking links on Google Search” enabled, search results open in the pinned tab, rather than in a new tab. With the new setting disabled, it works as expected. Maybe the behaviour is a side effect of the new setting, but it could be a bug too.
Otherwise, great browser. Keep up the good work!
Best browser out there.
Best browser out there. And I love the clear cache on close feature. Thanks guys!
The browser where things just work
This browser supports sites that Safari just chokes on. Very specific example is the management UI for Ubiquiti Unifi equipment. Safari says no. With iCab it simply works. It also has its own plugin system of sorts providing you with lots of quality of life features. Highly recommended.
One thing is missing, add Dutch language!
One simple question, Add Dutch Language and i give more star(s).
Features request
iCab is an excellent browser. However using iPad’s Magic Keyboard i can’t swipe back and forward on its trackpad, hope this can be fixed. Also I would like to use the arrow keys when navigating between downloaded images in full screen.
Be aware a pro accounts
I bought this app long time ago and used it seldom. After redownloading it on a new device it asks for buying it all again. Restore function does not work.
Excuse me Mr. Developer?! If you don’t take care of your paid users.. what do you care for? Selling it twice? 3 times 4 times?
Once someone starts with this behavior of greed there is usually no trust anymore
iOS 12
app crash all the time...
iOS 12
Wow!
Most extensive iOS browser there is. Does nearly everything you could dream of to have on a mobile device. Too bad I hadnt discovered this app sooner. Support is awesome aswell. :)
Sharen met Pinterest lukt me niet
Heel blij met deze browser. Hoe krijg ik sharen met Pinterest aan de loop? Hij vraagt of je de afbeelding wil opslaan in Pinterest, maar ik krijg niet het menu van Pinterest in beeld.
Sophisticated browser
Got fed up with Safari constantly reloading webpages on the iPad. (Many have complaints) Searching for a browser without this problem I rediscovered CAB, which used to be the best browser for the good old Atari's. And it still is, but now for the iPad! ICab is very fast, has everything you need, and loads pages without contant delay.
