iCab Moblie is almost as old as the Apple AppStore. This meant that it was not always easy to support new iOS features. The new version of iCab Mobile (version 11.0) has therefore been reprogrammed from scratch and is based on the latest iOS technology. This will significantly simplify further development in the future.
The app continues to offer the familiar features, some of which have been restructured and made clearer, and it has been greatly improved and expanded in many areas.
APP
- The app supports any number of independent user profiles (e.g. for use by multiple users, separation of professional and private use, etc.).
- Start the app on the iPad as often as you like at the same time (Split-Screen, Slide-Over, Stage-Manager).
- You can log in to each app instance with a different user profile (since iOS 17 this also works simultaneously)
USER INTERFACE
- Redesigned, clearer and simpler settings window
- Improved configuration of the menus (context menu, action menu, FavIcon menu, Text Selection menu). Subfolders and dividers help to make the menus easier to use.
- Browser toolbars can be placed at the top, bottom or on both sides, can be hidden/shown when scrolling if desired, icon colors/style/sizes can be configured
- Browser toolbars can be configured separately for large and small windows on the iPad (important for Split-Screen, Slide-Over, Stage Manager)
- Context-based additional keys for the standard keyboard help with text input
- Activate a permanently accessible scrollbar to make navigation or longer web pages much easier.
