Your taxi to the internet
iCab is a worthy alternative browser for Mac loaded with features.
Top Recommended Alternative
If you're tired of the usual Firefox, Safari, Camino or Opera, you might very well go for an alternative such as iCab. The latest 4.0 update has brought with it a significant amount of improvements, including a sleeker interface, faster load times and a new structure now based on Cocoa.
iCab passes the Acid Test, which is no slight feat, as even a browser like Firefox still fails it. However some pages using AJAX, like Gmail, do not render properly in iCab. Browsing the web is fast and you can open up new pages in tabs. Link manager can show all links related to a web page in a sidebar and files and pages can be saved via the download manager.
iCab is replete with features, including choosing what cookies you accept, filtering Java script and blocking ads. The security features felt a little clumsy to work with and we lament the lack of Keychain support but on the whole iCab feels secure.
Despite no Keychain support and pages with AJAX not rendering properly, iCab is a safe and feature stocked alternative browser for Mac.
