Now it is absolutely terrible. Hangs on “restore purchases” opens files in already populated tabs instead of new ones, can’t force a link to open in the same window even though it shows as an option in the settings menu. Please revert to pre-ui change. This is absolute garbage. This developer took money and changed to the app to make it worse. What a ripoff.
The new version is rather ugly and too white. Bring back the grey classic look. Contextual menus are about 50% slower to activate than previous versions. Old setting did not carryover, requiring a TON of time to reconfigure. Update is 5/10. I and others much prefer the previous version.
This was my go-to web browsing app for private browsing. The user experience was awesome. The tabs worked well. And most importantly, when I switched to another app, it would hide whatever I had on screen. With the “privacy” features fully enabled, it would completely clear my history, cache, and any open web pages for ultimate privacy. But all of that is now broken. It doesn’t work at all… there is no privacy, and these key features no longer work. They should work, but they just don’t. And, the new version has several UI changes that make it much harder to use. For example, tabs are smaller now, so tapping on them is difficult. Tap-and-hold on a link, so that I can open it in a background tab, only works some times now. And trying to get a video to play (one that you have to tap on to start playing), doesn’t work most of the time either. Scrolling the playback marker in a video, by tapping and scrubbing the place in the horizontal scroll bar doesn’t scrub the video any more. Instead, it is being interpreted as a screen swipe, which causes the window to move, or to switch to another tab (which I had to disable), or to simulate pressing the back button. All in all, this version is unusable.
I use different browsers for different jobs, and have been using iCab Mobile for years as my “private” browser, i.e. set to private mode to always wipe all history, etc. Unfortunately in recoding for newer Apple tech, v11 no longer does a good job of this. Some sites are now displayed incorrectly with user agent as Safari and I have to switch to Android to get mobile view, which adds its own unwanted quirks on some sites. Videos now show on the iOS Lock Screen even after closing the browser and having set to clear all. Still true if you enable password on profile. For most people this might be what they want and an improvement. For my use, I was happier with the previous version.
Lost me a lot of work.
I get that the new version is easier to maintain, but it’s a flaming piece of garbage that removes absolutely every reason I had for using it. What would make you butcher the existing version rather than sunsetting it and creating a new product? You can’t be making any money from the current one, anyway. As for me, I’m deleting it, and just won’t be using the web on my phone as much.
I have been using this browser for the past 5-7 years. The recent changes are simply unacceptable. For the first time, it has become so awful that I want to delete the product. Therefore, it’s extremely important for me to know how to revert to the old version in just one click, bringing back the old theme without this confusing and useless customization that nobody needs and has made the product absolutely terrible and dreadful.
The last update doesn’t delete history in private mode. That renders the app useless. Fix it or everyone will switch to chrome. How could you screw up the most basic tenet of your app? Privacy is why i use it. You have 1 week.
The latest UI update makes everything ugly. I've just spend more time than I intended removing everything from the ”bottom toolbar” just to get rid of that thing, and it still looks ugly. I think I'm moving to Safari.
