iCab 1.9 is now up for grabs at http://www.icab.de/ - and, unlike the previous version I wrote about a while ago, this one works!

What's iCab? It's 'Das Internet-Taxi für den Mac', in other words a small, tightly coded web-browser that won't eat your hard drive and is also available in a pre-Power PC version.

Javascript isn't implemented yet, but it's worth having for the hilarious rants of the author about non standard implementations of HTML.

If you write web pages, you might get annoyed at the way it disses your code - there is a Smiley face next to the URL bar that frowns if the source code deviates by one tag from HTML Standard 1.0000001 - and this means the poor little fella is frowning alot, as he thinks <FONT> is a non standard tag. He is a logical rather than physical being and he frowns at every single web page I've ever written, even the pictures of my baby. Miserable bastard.

Best of all is the preference box that gives you the choice:
- Emulate IE and Netscape
or
- Obey the standards.

You must obey the standards!

iCab is a great idea, though, when you consider what bloated behemoths IE and Navigator have become. Download it and lap up the slightly non-standard implementation of the English language! Worldwide your guide! Welcome to the beautiful town of Royston Vasey!
