iCab - The Taxi for the Internet

iCab is an alternative web browser for the Apple Mac with numerous useful features not found in other browsers.

iCab is shareware and costs $10 / 10 EUR, but it can be also used for free with a small limitation.

Key features

iCab can block undesirable content, like ads and pop-up windows. Also many settings can be automatically configured based on the URL of the page you're visiting, so you can have individual browser settings for different web site.

While in Kiosk mode, iCab will cover the whole screen and all other applications are blocked. The Kiosk mode is the ideal environment when the computer is accessing a public place (like fairs, exhibitions, hotels etc.) where users should be able to obtain information, yet prevent any external access to your system. Additionally, the access can be restricted to certain pages.

Files and even whole web pages can be downloaded to access the content off-line at your convenience, without having to go online again.

iCab can display the source code of a page itself or open it in an Text Editor. iCab can automatically reload and re-display the entire page whenever the HTML code is saved in the editor.

At any time you can easily decide if a link or bookmark is opened in a new window or tab, in the background or foreground

HTML pages can be stored in a compact ZIP-file, including all images of the page.

iCab can warn the user when visiting sites known for Malware or Phishing.

It is highly configurable.
