I know you want to experiment. For Mac OSs before 10, IE and Icab are the best in my opinion.
If IE works for you, why not stay with it? It is without doubt one of the best. It has to be because that is what web site makers use for their standard, a sort of catch 22 that has a history. I'd say to be sure to have the latest 5. for the Mac (I have 5.1.6 - I think there is a 5.1.7). I too love Icab, looks nice and has some great features like being able to open up a source file on one's own computer. What is not properly developed is its ability to handle css (style instructions that are specified by the web site maker for the pages). But, what can't you do in icab, give some examples of addresses etc. It may be that you need to attend to the business of setting your preferences, all sorts of things things file helpers. Pay attention particularly to the preferences/Javascript/'Identity/settings'/identity. I tick the MIE and put in a 5 version - this identifies the browser as IE to web sites and helps - think: the doorman lets in people with proper dress and gives scruffy others a hard time. I know ... Mac people like us have pride but one sometimes needs to swallow it ... Also give Icab as much memory as you can afford, set prefs to throw out the cache on quit ...
