Description
iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iOS. It provides many unique and useful features you won't find in other iPhone browsers.
APPLE WATCH:
The Watch App is a remote control for iCab Mobile, so you can navigate, zoom, scroll, open bookmarks, links, the homepage, switch tabs or sitch on/off the fullscreen mode. it is also possible to let iCab read a web site using speech output.
FILE UPLOADS:
iCab Mobile can upload any files on web pages, like uploading photos on flickr.com or Facebook.com. Due to limitations of the iOS this does not everywhere, but it works fine on many web sites.
SEARCHING:
iCab Mobile comes with several default search engines you can choose from. You can easily add new search engines. Search suggestions from google and yahoo can be activated on the iPad. It's also possible to search within a web page.
FILLING OUT FORMS:
iCab Mobile can save web forms and restore the form content later (manually or automatically). The saved forms data can be password protected.
FILTER:
There's a built-in and customizable URL-based filter. The default filters block many advertising banners. You can edit, add or remove filters. It's possible to switch off images to save bandwidth.
TABS:
iCab Mobile supports Tabs, so you can open multiple web pages at the same time. Links can be opened in Tabs (in the foreground or background) manually or automatically. iCab can save the tabs when quitting so these can be loaded even when being offline, the next time the App is launched.

Bookmarks can be organized in folders. You can import/export the bookmarks from/to your PC/Mac browser. Bookmarks can be also saved as "Offline Bookmarks" which can be even opened without an internet connection.

Customer Reviews
compared to classic Mercury browser
Still have iLegendSoft Inc's v9.0.10 Mercury browser (classic) on an iPad with iOS 8.1.2 – heard whoever has Mercury now has trashed it. Classic Mercury is fast and clever – been using Mercury for years, however sometimes now some Microsoft websites will cause classic Mercury to crash. iCabMobile is stable, almost as fast rendering, and has the all-important Private mode where cookies are tossed after exiting the app. Occassionally when pulling up NOAA weather the icons for rain or sun end up in the wrong locations on the page mixed up with other icons, necessitating a reload. Have yet to figure out how to enable a Yakuza theme. Glad to have found iCabMobile.
Best Custom Browser!
I have used many browsers. Most seem to stop updating their app after a year and it breaks. This browser application is very full featured and the developer updates constantly over many years and is responsive. Developer Seems to actually love his creation. 5 stars!
My favorite features are Custom Gestures, ad blocking, modules/add-ons, and customizable full screen mode and transparencies!
Don't be hesitant to pay $1.99 for this app because you are used to free browsers :) it is a very robust mobile browser worth every penny.
Just what I wanted
Finally. I have bought soo many other browsers and none of them were better than chrome or safari. This one beats them by a landslide.
