8 of 25love the customization options and UI, this is the only decent browser for iPad and iPhone ive found. well worth the low one time cost. highly recommend
A group of us told the developer changes were needed for years now. Could’ve released a beta through TestFlight. Users don’t deserve this.
The only browser I can get everything to work properly on…with some configuration. Creator is great with queries.
icab used to be intuitive, simple, and felt focused on usability. It was a lesson on how to make a modern browser that had just the right features and users enjoyed using. The latest update tosses all that. Everything takes extra taps, from switching profiles, tap tap tap, to attempting to view or browse downloaded images. The photo viewer / slideshow was a feature of perfection, now destroyed with tiny buttons in the center bottom (you must literally set down your device and obscure the screen with your hand to tap arrows to swap between photos, as opposed to the prior right / left side of the screen tap. Oh, and Animated gifs? No longer browsable in the viewer without 'tap tap tap' to open each individually. Deleting all of your tabs randomly also seems to be a new feature. Usability is now cumbersome & feels like "work". The only good thing left is the independent download management, but even that has been updated to take more taps and generally be more difficult. icab now genuinely causes frustration and grief to use, which is sad to experience after over a decade of it being near perfection. RIP private optimized workflows, and RIP icab. If you haven't updated to 11, just don't.
F around and find out!
This was once an excellent browser. It was “reinvented” a while ago which was a poor job with change for the sake of change being the apparent objective. Now it has rendering issues with major websites. AMEX crashes iCab, Amazon renders poorly, other sites simply stop loading with some of the page missing. More and more I’m using Safari. Once Safari has a decent cookie manager, iCab will simply be uninstalled.
Along with clunky tabs that only display part of the first word in a website title, or all appear as Untitled, inability to partially edit or delete as before, now it’s all or nothing. You either allow websites to track every move you make, you can now only delete the whole cookie or leave it as is. Lots of other features that have been eliminated or ruined. <br/><br/>But now the big one. As of last update, you can no longer save webpages as PDFs. You get a single blank page. Also gone is verification that the pdf has been saved. You have to check your downloads after every single pdf is created. <br/><br/>From the best browser in the universe for more than a decade to a completely destroyed, all but useless piece of junk. Sorry Alex. Why did you kill iCAB?
Been trying to make it work for weeks. Finally realized it’s not me, it’s the app. Been using this app since v1. Now I have to find a different browser. There are pages that won’t even load in this browser that load fine in every other browser. How is that even possible?
