iCab Mobile (Web Browser)

iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is probably one of the iPhone browsers with the richest feature set. It provides many unique and useful features you won't find in other iPhone browsers.


SEARCHING:
iCab Mobile comes with several default search engines you can choose from but you can easily add new search engines with a simple tap of your finger.
It's also possible to search within a web page.


FILLING OUT FORMS:
Filling out forms manually again and again isn't much fun on the iPhone. Therefore iCab Mobile is can save web forms and restore the form content later with a simple tap of your finger. The saved forms data can be password protected.


INTERNATIONAL DOMAIN NAMES (IDN):
iCab Mobile fully supports international domain names (domain names with language-specific characters).


FILTER:
There's a build-in and customizable URL-based filter. The default filters block many advertising banners. You can edit the filters, add new filters or remove existing ones. You can also switch off the loading of images to save bandwidth.


TABS:
iCab Mobile supports Tabs. The Tab overview panel lets you switch the Tabs, delete them or open new ones.

You can also open links in new Tabs (either in the background or in the foreground), or let iCab Mobile ask where to open the link. All this can be configured seperately for links which open a page from the same domain or links with open a page from another domain.

When quitting, all Tabs are saved so they can open in Offline mode when no Internet is available the next time iCab is launched.


BOOKMARKS:
The bookmarks can be organized in folders. You can easily import/export the bookmarks from/to your PC/Mac browser.
Bookmarks can be also saved as "Offline Bookmarks". These bookmarks can be opened without an internet connection. This is an easy way to save web pages on the iPhone.


FULLSCREEN MODE:
iCab Mobile provides a fullscreen mode where the whole screen is used to display the web page. No screen space is wasted for toolbars.


DOWNLOADS:
iCab Mobile has a build-in Download Manager. If you click a link that can't be displayed, you'll get asked if you want to download the file instead. You can also force the download of a link (tap a link for a longer time until a popup menu opens). All the downloads can be exported to a Mac/PC/Linux computer.


SCROLLING
Scrolling within very large web pages can be time consuming. The "Scrollpad" feature lets you go to any location within the web page instantly. Tap with three fingers on the screen to activate the Scrollpad.


GUEST MODE
iCab Mobile itself can be password protected. When password protection is on, it's possible to enable a guest mode with limited privileges which is available
without knowing the password. You can configure which bookmarks and search engines are available in Guest mode.


OTHER FEATURE:
iCab lets you visit web pages if the server certificate is unknown, expired or otherwise "untrusted". You'll get a warning and then you can decide if you want to visit the web page nevertheless.

iCab Mobile supports autorotation, but you can also lock it into portrait or landscape mode.

When "Private Browsing" is enabled, no history and cookies will be saved anymore.

The application provides a bild-in help, where you can read about all the features of iCab Mobile.

The history saves all your visited web sites, so you can easily revisit the pages later.

You can configure iCab Mobile to automatically add all the web address of your address book into the bookmarks.

When launching iCab Mobile, it can either open an empty page (fast), open the homepage, open the last active Tab, or restore all Tabs which were open when
the app was quit before.

Page-Compression via "Google Mobilizer" is supported to save bandwith.

You can select between different color schemes.
