Overview

Features & Capabilities

iCab Mobile is a feature-rich web browser for iOS designed for maximum privacy and customization. It supports private mode that avoids storing data, private tabs, and multiple profiles so families or teams can separate work and personal browsing. Tabs can be grouped, saved, and restored, and on iPad you can run multiple app instances as windows with several profiles.

Beyond privacy, iCab Mobile includes powerful blockers, filter lists (EasyList, AdBlock Plus, uBlock compatible), a highly configurable user interface, a robust bookmark system with smart folders, a comprehensive downloads manager, and extensive site control features (site permissions, content highlighting, auto-clicks, and optional JavaScript/CSS injection). It also offers widgets, RSS reader, export/import, and even Apple Watch integration.

User Reviews

Users praise iCab Mobile for extremely deep customization and a powerful feature set, often calling it unmatched among iOS browsers. However, multiple reviews report rendering and site compatibility problems after updates, usability regressions from UI changes and feature removals, and difficulties rolling back to older versions. These reliability and UX issues drive some users toward Safari or away from iCab, despite its unique flexibility and value.
Pros
  • Highly customizable with extensive options and settings.
  • Powerful and flexible, capable of doing more than other iOS browsers.
  • Good value with a one-time purchase (no subscription).
  • Long-running, feature-rich browser with a loyal user base.
Cons
  • Rendering problems and site compatibility issues after updates (e.g., major sites like AMEX and Amazon crash or fail to render).
  • Usability regressions due to updates, including more taps and clunkier UI and removal of beloved features like night mode.
  • Loss of features and extension/module support (reduced customization, deprecation of useful modules, and occasional broken features).
  • Difficulty rolling back to older versions or lack of an easy rollback path.
