What iCab is
iCab is an alternative web browser for Apple Mac using the WebKit engine. It includes built-in blocking for ads, pop-up windows, and other unwanted content, with settings configurable by visited URL. Kiosk mode fills the screen, blocks access to other applications, and can limit browsing to selected pages. Its download manager saves files and complete web pages for offline access. iCab can display page source or open it in a text editor, then reload a page after saved changes. The browser warns about sites associated with malware or phishing. Form data is not saved automatically, though users can save and fill forms through menus and configure automatic filling. Version 6.3.7 supports Mac OS X 10.13–26.x on Intel 64-bit and Apple Silicon. German, English, Danish, and Spanish are available. A free version works on any number of computers but shows an occasional shareware reminder; a single-user license is $10 a month.
