10 features, that you don't find in other browsers
1. Filtering advertising banners and much more
2. iCab can block undesirable images, it can also prevent pop-up
windows
containing advertising from opening automatically. It is very easy to
modify these filters. Simply control-click on any image you wish to block
in the future. Also many other 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.
3. Kiosk mode
4. 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 (even refusing referrals, if you choose).
5. Error protocol (Smiley)
6. iCab records all HTML errors of Web pages. A smiley-face will
indicate if the HTML code is OK (has no HTML errors, or hazards). In such
sites, the smiley face will be green (and smiling). Errors make the
smiling face red and sad. By clicking the red smileys iCab will open a
window where all the errors are identified with a small description. At
http://validator.w3.org/ you can also test web pages using the official
validator of the W3C.
7. Portable web archives
8. HTML pages can be stored in a compact ZIP-file, including all
images
of the page. The advantage of the ZIP format is that you can use it under
DOS/Windows, Unix/Linux -and nearly all other operating systems as well.
The ZIP archive uses highly efficient compression, to save hard disk
space.
9. Download manager
10. HTML pages can be downloaded automatically. This allows you to
access the content off-line at your convenience, without having to go
online again. The download specifications are highly configurable: The
path/depth of downloaded files can be configured to get (only) the
specified file, all linked files, all html, all images, all files on the
same site, or even all linked files from all external linked sites.
Additionally, you can exclude any specific file type(s)
11. Link manager
12. When selecting this handy menu utility, a convenient split
window
opens with all page links identified and listed on the left side. Pick
any link, and the respective site appears on the right side of the
window. Using the link manager you can comfortably search through long
lists of links (for example the result of a search engine) without the
need to open any new windows. This way you can avoid sites you do not
wish to visit, or information sources which are not be useful to you.
13. Source code manager
14. When selecting this handy menu utility, the source code of a
page
will be displayed in any (chosen) editor, or directly in iCab. iCab can
automatically reload and re-display the entire page whenever the HTML
code is saved in the editor. You can easily access all files which are
used in the current page from a list, where the files are sorted by type
(images, HTML code, CSS code, JavaScript code, etc)
15. No system extensions
16. iCab doesn't install any system extensions, does not create any
"invisible files", and iCab doesn't modify the system or any system
settings.
17. Open web page in new window or tabs
18. With this command, a link can be opened in a new window or a new
tab. New windows and tabs can be also opened in the background so that
the main page remains on top and can be read first. When you are finished
with the main page you can switch to the underlying pages, which will be
fully loaded.
19. Highly configurable
20. iCab is highly configurable. You can configure which Cookies
should
be accepted and which should be rejected. You can select which menu items
are displayed in the contextual menu. Utilizing Apple "Text-to-Speech",
web pages can be read aloud.
21. And much more
22. iCab's unique and thorough cookie controls, Java scripting
controls,
and filters offer you a broader range of control about your privacy and
safety on the internet. You can choose to "allow or refuse" any illegal
HTML/HTTP or security practices you encounter. iCab allows you (if you
choose) to have convenient warnings about any dangerous sites you visit
where your computer or security are threatened by rogue code, or
important data exchange that is conducted in an insecure environment.
iCab removes or restrains many annoying things from web pages: like
scrolling text messages in the status-line (which disable its reporting
function); windows that alter their size or position automatically to
interfere with your organizing preferences; web pages that switch off all
the navigation toolbars, etc. All this is done without completely
disabling the technology used by these features, unlike all other
browsers where you have only an "either/or" choice (or no choice at all).
Many more convenient features exist, and more unique features are planned
in future releases.
Certainly, iCab has much more features than you can examine in one day.
Try it once, and you will see it has addressed all your needs, and iCab
can grow with you, to fully meet your personal tastes and preferences
-with much wider choices and options than any other browser!
