iCab

Alternative web browser

Visit

iCab is a macOS‑only web browser that emphasizes fine‑grained control over browsing behavior. It includes built‑in filtering to block advertisements, pop‑up windows and other unwanted content, and it can apply distinct settings automatically based on the visited site’s URL. The browser also offers a kiosk mode that locks the display to a single full‑screen window and restricts access to other applications, making it suitable for public terminals such as exhibitions or hotel kiosks.

The application provides a download manager for saving files and complete web pages for offline use, and it can present a page’s source code directly or open it in an external editor with automatic reload on changes. Users can choose how links and bookmarks open—new windows, tabs, background or foreground—and can archive HTML pages and their resources into compact ZIP files. Additionally, iCab warns users when navigating to sites known for malware or phishing.

These features are packaged in a stable, shareware release that can be used for free with limited functionality, while a paid license removes the restriction. The browser’s configurability and mac‑focused design target users who need customized browsing experiences, public‑display usage, or enhanced content‑blocking on macOS.
