iCab Mobile (Web Browser)

I confess to initially trying out iCab just because I saw its original funky little taxicab icon! Its power & sophistication amaze me – so much so that I don't use it as my primary browser since I want to be sure it’s customized setting do exactly what I want. I value desktop+iphone Safari's integration with other elements of iOS and MacOSX (and its predecessors), for example SERVICES which I've customized for speed of completing regular tasks; I look forward to how iCab works so smoothly on both platforms. When my Apple user friends ask about my browser preferences I ALWAYS cite iCab as my favorite even if not always my regular one.

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.

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.

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!

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 🇩🇪 ←

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.

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.

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.

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.
