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.
VOICEOVER
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... ;-)

Simply the best from the beginning
I have used iCab desktop and ios version for more years than I can remember. It is so customizable there is a learning curve but your still safe right out of the box. When many other browsers dropped out iCab remained tried and true. You know something is good these days when the big corporate guys give it attention.
THANK YOU
special thanks to the team who made this app! appreciate that i can browse smoothly on IG on ios 12 old ipad. not as good as modern apple devices, but i think it’d be such a waste to throw my old ipad away when it’s practically brand new. seriously, this needs to be promoted as a sustainable resource.
How have I gone so long without this?
I’m not a Mac user, but I’ve had an iPhone since the 2nd version. I’ve tried many browsers to deal with Safari’s issues and lack of features, and I never gave this shot. Apparently it’s been around since the early days. Probably as long as the App Store has been serving up irrelevant results. That’s another issue though.
I was looking for a way to keep pages from reloading while I was reading them and found a forum post recommending this. The user seemed very knowledgeable and actually said it was his default for several years. That’s when I looked at the date and realized the post was nearly 12 years old and the answer was a repost even older!
I checked it out anyway and as always in the App Store- I sorted reviews my positive, critical and recent to get a picture of the current state of things. I looked at the version history to make sure it’s actively supported. And I looked for subscription requirements. I was happy to see this developer still earning praise for good work after all this time. My guess is this tool is used and developed for personal use as well.
After installing, I immediately noticed many more features than are in the listing.
I’m very excited to see how this works out!
👍 👍

Safari on steroids. ✔︎
Picks up Safari’s slack. (And *beats* all others easily.) Fast. Private. Superb bookmarking, Tools galore for hours of tinkering. Fully tailorable: check Settings ☞ “User Interface” ☜ This is the ⩰Porsche of browsers: take it for a spin. Kind support. Be nice: → Tip 🇩🇪 ←
Very powerful browser!
This is the most desktop feeling web browser on the appstore app, it has almost everything I could hope for. If only it could support custom css, that’d be great, I really want to use Return Youtube Dislikes.
Awesome browser, awesome developer
Icab Mobile is almost too good. It is so much better than any other IOS browser it's just ridiculous. The developer is extraordinary responsive about fixing bugs and adding features. This is the most important app on my Ipad, and I can't say enough good things about it. Definitely get this app.
Always reliable
When safari fails to load a web page, I use iCabMobile. I use it on a regular basis. It is the only iOS browser that never fails.
iOS 9.3.5
Please make this browser app backward compatible for my old iPad, a perfectly capable device destined for electronic environmental waste due to obsolescence. Such a shame.
Stupid password
I’ve used this app for years and I like it a lot but I get sick of tabs reloading when you open a different then go back. Sometimes you end up with several tabs trying to reload at once which really slows it down. I can’t figure out how to turn that off or if it’s even possible
