iCab4Logo.pngIf you enjoy mucking around with new browsers, or want to see what else the Apple WebKit engine can do, you might want to try the newest version of iCab — that browser that’s been kicking since 1999.

Macworld just took ‘er for a spin:

iCab offers a decent selection of configuration options. These include a full range of bookmark management features, such as the ability to check, either manually or on a schedule, whether the content of a Web page has changed since you last visited it. You can customize the group of search engines that are listed in the toolbar’s search field. You can also create filters that define the settings used by individual sites for things like ads, multimedia, and JavaScript, though the interface for doing so is much more cumbersome than that of OmniWeb, which offers a similar feature.
