I use iCab all the time, and I think it is great. Don't notice any speed
difference really. I have the same problem you do with my bank and one other
site I go to often. I use IE a fair amount for those. I like the Scrapbook
in IE and use that occasionally to save a copy of a web page, such as the
confirmation of an on line sale.
But I like to keep iCab open, and always make it my first choice. It keeps
getting better, and I think when it's done its implementation of Javascript
will be complete. I didn't know the thing about filtering out ads; just
tried it in Prefs, and it works great! Thanks (to whoever it was) for that
tip! It will probably increase my use of iCab.
