Yes, iCab for Mac OS X is still under development. There will be a new version soon.
But the main focus is currently the mobile version.

I love iCab on iOS. To honor it with a good spider catcher: For me, iCab really is the “Firefox for iOS” – in the good sense of Firefox as to more freedom of choice, more privacy, exclusive features, and more control.

But I also like iCab on OS X very much. Especially for one nice exclusive feature: Creating clones of iCabs for certain sites (Save as Application – feature). It’s great for web development and also for privacy.

My question – although a little OT as a comment on this post: is iCab for OS X still in your focus sometimes? I’m not missing anything right now, as it works like a charm – just wondering because it hasn’t received updates in a while.

Greetings and Regards, and Thanx for your *really* “LTS” for all iCabs,

Lorenzo

iCab always uses the WebKit engine of the system, which should be the same that is used by Safari. iCab does not have a custom WebKit engine built-in.

But there will be also an update of iCab available soon (hopefully).

If you mean by “full page zoom” that increasing/decreasing the font size will also affect images, then you can get this in iCab already. Just enter “settings:” in the URL field (without the quotes but including the colon) and hit the return key. this will open several hidden settings. In the “Web Page Content” section you’ll find the setting to change the way zooming works.

I will buy iCab soon. I like Safari because of full page zoom, but it’s to slow. I lke OmniWeb but once again to slow. Please Alexander get full page Zoom in an upcoming release. Then I will have Perfection.

Thanks for the post. This also works for using WK nightlies within Safari. Just edit one of the downloads and tweak for Safari and there you are! Then all your plugins are back for Safari as well

And you have to open the “WebKitDetect.html” file in iCab.

Launching via iCabWK.app is easy {but it helped me to read its RadMe}. If you are already using the “nightly” webkit builds for Safari, then you already have the required Webkit.app in your Applications folder. It seemed to me that iCab 4.6.1 with the latest build of webkit [#46646] was rendering my home page slightly differently.

The only part I could not get to work was running WebKitDetect.js. I tried the Open File command and iCab simply displayed it as a text file. But as I launched via iCabWK after I previously set the iCab identity prefs to Best Compatability I’m pretty sure that I am actually use the WebKit.app
