Wow, I'm surprised to see iCab still chugging along after all these years -- and still in beta. Does anyone know when the first publicly-available version of iCab was released? Garrett Albright 05:08, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Is it just me, or is the article a little too happy about iCab? I added some material here a few months ago (the sections about critisism and iCab's OS9 development) and someone has later on added extra suprelatives in my text. And arguments like "(...) reasons for loving iCab (...)" doesn't feel very neutral.
Actually, this article isn't neutral at all. There are downsides to this browser, like every other, and this article is a blatant advertisement. 70.48.97.51 23:33, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I originally added the advert tag, but it was summarily removed. The lead section still sounds like an advertisement to me, but I let back a little and tagged it for what is really wrong: the lead section is unencyclopedic, not a summary, and grammatically marginal (it even has verb tense changes in the middle of paragraphs). It's therefore not surprising that the article went through a nomination for deletion.
Don't simply remove this tag. That lead section DOES need a rewrite; please clean it up so that the article looks like it belongs here. Todd Vierling ( talk) 22:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I created a Classilla page and pointed this one to it. Skedaddle ( talk) 23:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
>> On 7 June 2009, iCab 4.6, using the WebKit rendering engine, became the first desktop browser released to display a score of 100/100 and pass the Acid3 test. Apple's Safari 4 browser was released one day later and has been officially credited as being the first official release browser to pass the Acid3 test with a score of 100/100.
Maybe you mean first on Mac OS? Because first browser that passes Acid3 is an Opera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.118.81.24 ( talk) 22:41, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

I like iCab, but it feels like an ad, not an article in an encyclopedia. Sidenote, but InterWeb PPC and . . . nevermind, lost my train of thought for PPC and Classic Mac browsers. 199.127.116.26 ( talk) 20:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
