>From TidBITS: **Hail an iCab** -- We generally don't comment on preview releases of software in TidBITS, but we'll make an exception for iCab, a new Web browser from a German programming team led by Alexander Clauss and derived from a project for Atari systems. Available for PowerPC-based Macs, iCab features svelte system requirements, needing under 2 MB of disk space, less than 2 MB of RAM (with Virtual Memory or RAM Doubler; 4 MB without), and System 7.5 or higher. But that's just the beginning: iCab offers support for HTML 4.0, Java applets via Apple's Macintosh Runtime for Java (see TidBITS-467_), sound and music via QuickTime, and support for contextual menus and Mac OS 8.5 features like Navigation Services - all with sprightly performance. iCab also offers features missing in the gorillas of the Web browsing world, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator (see TidBITS-465_), including HTML error checking; a search feature that can hunt through local files, current Web pages, or send queries to remote search engines; connection logging; password and cookie management; and a sure-to-be-controversial image filter that can be used to block Web advertisements. <http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=05282> <http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=05255> Kathy > Kathy E.
