iCab seems like a decent little browser, I'll give this a shot. In the past it's crashed more than others but that may just be my system.

I love iCab, I wasn't sure development was still goin on...
Glad to hear it!

It doesn't really crash taht often on me, and it's not that beautiful, but it's super light and gets its work done. Very good D/L manager and save as web-archives option.

IS it still a demo that lasts only 30 days ?

[lonny]

It's a beta. It expires when a new version is available, so you don't have to worry about it. Plus it's only 2,8Mb.

Cool! I think I'll give it a shot.

How is it's CSS support?

I used iCab before, but I wasnt really thrilled at the prospect of paying for a browser. I think Opera's model -- free but with ads is an OK one. If they bother you, you can pay the registration fee and remove them

Yeah, M$ sure turned the browser world on its head by offering Internet Exploiter for free. For better or for worse, the deed has been done, and people will certainly be loathe to pay for a browser unless it's vastly superior (at least I would be--although I'd shell out the dough to Omnigroup if Omniweb was as fast as Chimera--just because the of the social principles they espouse). Until Omniweb gets faster, I don't see myself paying for it.
