Features
One interesting feature of iCab is the iCab-Smiley. Depending on the validity of the HTML of the Website currently viewed, it will smile or look grim. Clicking on the smiley will bring up a list of errors in the page, if there are any.

- tabbed browsing
- JavaScript and (very incomplete) CSS2 support
