The other problem I have always had is that on older style textual “bulletin board” type forums that involve lots of hyperlinks up and down the page, iCab usually doesn’t This is a real show stopper with the 12.3 update. I have not been able to fix this by changing anything in settings, not even “combined URL+Search Field”. Can’t type in anything new, unless you manually add a bookmark for a search engine or something else. You can still select from your bookmarks but that’s about it. A failed “search in page” message box pops up in either case which leaves you and the browser dead in the water. When text is entered to attempt to do a Google (or whatever) search, or when entering a URL, instead the current page is searched like a “find” command. IOS 12.3 seems to have broken the URL / search input field.

No problem! Then there are the several dozen extensions built in: URL shortener, QR scanner, secure password manager (LastPass and others), AdBlock, file downloader and manager, custom search engines, full bookmark engine with folders and organization, FireFox sync, Amazon integration, and so on. If you’re worried about prying eyes while sharing your phone, don’t be, you can set up different user profiles with their own settings and they all can be password protected. I can set a different browser ID, I can tailor-block all forms of advertising, I can even specify which cookies are allowed or blocked by website. I have complete control over what websites can display, set, and do on my device. And it doesn’t stop there! The privacy and security features make all others pale in comparison. I can even specify the various gestures and swipes to exactly what I want them to do. I can adjust the position of buttons, modify every aspect of the user interface: colors, brightness, and fonts, and change every setting. This browser does nearly 99.9% of what is theoretically possible for a mobile browser. I have spent the better portion of two decades studying and redesigning systems of the world and a great deal of that time has been spent researching, testing, and using software. #Web browser icab android#Seriously, I’ve downloaded literally thousands of apps across dozens of mobile devices, Android to iOS, Mac to Windows, even many Linux systems, and never have I seen a piece of software that goes so far beyond my wildest expectations. I have never been so impressed with an app that I’ve felt compelled to write a review.

And there's no way to ad a filter list to improve its ad blocking or get rid of annoyances.Īs the web gets worse and worse to visit, iCab has gotten worse and worse to use. It's also dead slow rendering some sites, bits and pieces float all over the place, frequently covering what you want to read, some sites crash (Trip Advisor, Reuters), the folks at iCab obviously love social networking sites as the ribbon with all their links is usually there, at times floating around in the middle of pages, even when it's off to the side there's no margin for it to stay in so you have to read around it. No matter what browser ID I use (even WebKit), pages don't render well, they reload, it's like looking at bits and pieces of a page being placed where other bits and pieces are so it re-renders. It's more like a good desktop browser than a mobile browser.
