I've written to the dev to PLEASE (1) Repair iCab's ability to detect updates, which it does NOT. (2) Repair the link coded to "Help/iCab Web Site", which uses the ancient "HTTP" address, which no longer exists, causing a browser ERROR. 😝 👎 *sigh*

Wait, what? Somebody ought to update their marketing copy, or else this browser is way behind the times. It supports HTML4? But HTML5 is the current (and final) release, which was released to the public in 2008! And (Internet) Explorer has been deprecated beyond the realm of usability. Unless iWeb is targeted for Luddites who never moved into the 21st Century, and expects them to PAY for the privilege of running it, I can see no valid reason to even consider this in place of a modern, secure and high-performance web browser. Heaven knows, there are plenty of them out there, and none of them ask for payment.

What is the point of continuing this project? This browser cannot do half of what Firefox, Brave, etc., can. It is even clumsy to use. Back in the 1990's it was interesting, but today - this is like someone's hobby for a very tiny niche audience.

v6.2 is out. The release notes: - -> New Feature: Tab Groups • Tab Groups can be used to save all the Tabs of a window as a unit (group) so the groups can be re-opened later again easily again. Open tab groups will automatically remember all the changes within the group (like links which were opened, tabs opened or closed etc), so when re-opening a group, their latest state will be restored. Tab Groups can be managed via new „Tabs“ menu and via sidebar. - New Feature: Sidebar • It is now possible to have a sidebar in browser windows (via „View“ menu or via button in the browser toolbar). The sidebar allows easy access to the „page overview“ (directly jump to each section or paragraph of the current web page), the „link overview“ (list of all links of a web page), and the „tab groups“ (easy access to tab groups). - New Feature: QR Codes • All links, bookmarks, etc within the App can be displayed as QR code from within the contextual menus. This makes it easy to open them in a smartphone because it is possible to scan the addresses instead of typing them in manually. The QR codes can be also saved as file by simply dragging them to the Finder. - Bugfix: a workaround for a bug of the macOS solves issues with „data“ URLs which include a fragment identifier - Bugfix: „data“ URLs did not work when used directly in the address bar - Bugfix: Mac AppStore links should now open correctly within the Mac AppStore App
