The best thing about iCab is the amount of
filtering it lets you do. You can selectively enable
plugins, and choose which MIME types to pass to them; Filter
Java applets by URL; Block images by server and by image size; Say which servers get to set cookies (and ban images from setting cookies); And best of all, apply permissions to
javascript letting you forbid scripts from opening new windows, writing in the status line (Adios annoying
scrollers), etc. This can be done by server, so you can avoid all those nasty
Geocities popups, while at the same time, allowing the preview windows on
macthemes.org to appear.
All this is why iCab are getting my $30, and I will probably never go back to Netscrape.
