10.7.5
2024-04-22
Fixes an issue of the "Open in iCab Mobile" option in the Sharesheet
10.7.4
2024-02-07
- A new option in the Web Site settings allows to block/skip the tracking links on the google search result
- The in-page search now remembers the last search position, so you can continue the search even when aborted the search completely before (of course only when you are still on the same page and the search term does not change)
- Removes a filter from the default ads blocker which could prevent that links of the google image search function as expected
- Fixes an issue with creating QR codes for links under iOS 17
- Removed the "google cache" module because google discontinued this service
- Fixes an issue when launching the App through one of the options from the menu of the App icon on the homescreen while being logged out of all users accounts. The command from the App menu was ignored in this case, instead of executing the command after logging-in with a user account.
10.7.3
2023-10-14
- In the web site settings there's now a new option to disable "universal links". The "Universal links" feature of the iOS allows App to redirect links to their website to themselves, so these links won't open in the browser anymore. But because many users do not like this "hijacking" of links, this can now be prevented with the new setting.
- Workaround added for an iOS bug when handling fragment identifiers within "data" URLs
- Bugfix: When opening many links in the background very fast it could happen that not all pages did load.
- Bugfix: Fixes a crash when opening a private Tab under certain circumstances
- Bugfix: Fixes a crash when processing a very large number of new files within the downloads when there are already a large number of files in there
10.7.2
2023-03-10
Unfortunately the new quickstarter can trigger a bug of the iOS, which has the result that the quickstarter does not always show its bookmarks. This iOS bug only affects tabs which were already used for a while to load web sites. So the issue only reveals itself after a while. If and when the bug shows up can also depend on the device hardware and iOS release. New tabs were never affected.
This update of iCab Mobile includes a workaround for this iOS issue so it can avoid the empty quickstarter.
10.7.1
2023-03-01
Unfortunately a very rare condition (and only if you never used the quickstarter before) could cause a crash when launching the last update. Sorry. This update fixes this issue again.
10.6.7
2022-12-20
- Since iOS 15 there's a new menu item available for the action menu, which allows to directly pause all media output (audio/video). This works on a global level, so you don't need to know which tab plays audio or video content. This menu item is also available in the contextual menu of the Tabs, so you don't need to add an additional item to the action menu.
- The user-defined Browser IDs can now have their own name which is used in the list of IDs in the settings. This allows to distinguish the IDs by name instead of by ID. If no name is given, the ID is listed.
- In the bookmarks window you can now sort bookmarks in "edit" mode. You can sort by name, URL, label and date
- In the "web site" settings there's a new option which allows to automatically redirect Youtube shorts to their "standard" youtube video page. This is useful if you prefer the full featured video player of "normal" youtube videos over the primitive video player of the "shorts".
- There are now complications available for the Apple Watch, so it's possible to lanuch the Watch App from within a watch face
- The default keyboard shortcut for „Close Tab“ has changed from Cmd-W to Cmd-Shift-W to avoid conflicts with a new shortcut of the Stage Manager on iPads. (Important: The shortcut will change automatically only if the user has not yet done any changes for the shortcuts).
- Bugfix: Fixes an issue with the auto-update feature of AdBlock Plus filters
- Bugfix: Saving web sites on WebDAV servers did not always work
- Bugfix: Searches done in private tabs will no longer added to the search history
10.6.6
2022-08-02
- There's a new button available for the toolbar to toggle the display of pictures on web sites. This can be handy if you often switch off or on pictures to speed up site loading because of slow internet connections.
- In the "web site" settings it's now possible to switch on/off the detection of XML as RSS (in case XML-based web sites are falsly treated as RSS)
- When sharing web pages in reader mode the whole content is now shared by default
- For CSS-based filters iCab Mobile is now supporting the special rules „:has-text()“ und „:upwards()“ from the „uBlock“ ad blocker
- It's now possible to manually reorder pinned Tabs within the Tabs window
- Fixes an issue with overlapping text in reader mode if the font size was increased by a very large factor
- Fixes a crash when long-pressing the reload button
10.6.5
2022-07-03
- Since iOS 15 the back/forward history of tabs can be restored as well when launching the App
- In fullscreen mode the "home indicator" will be hidden now (this is the line at the bottom of the screen which can be used to switch to the home screen)
- Deleting private data can be now also assigned to a gesture
- The "smart rules" of the downloads allow to automatically export certain downloads to WebDAV servers, like this is possible with Dropbox
- The address field now adapts to the font size of the system
- Better detection of RSS feeds, in case these have no MIME type nor a file name which gives any hints to an RSS feeds
- The Watch App of iCab Mobile is now able to open web sites without showing the privacy warning of the watchOS first
- Bugfix: The search within the bookmarks did not always work
- Bugfix: The "Read now" option for an item within the reading list did sometimes show the current web site in reading mode instead of the page from the reading list
- Bugfix: When switching between private and normal mode the cookies of the normal mode won't be deleting anymore.
- Bugfix: It could sometimes happen that the login status of Firefox Sync was lost if the network connection broke down while contacting the Firefox servers.
10.6.1
2022-04-21
- Adds the missing texts in the Japanese localization
- Fixes an issue when using the "export/import via WLAN" feature to transfer downloads with non-ASCII file names (like Japanese) to a computer or other devices.
- Fixes a crash when logging out of the Guest account
10.6
2022-04-13
- It's now possible to import SSL certificates (client certificates) to visit web sites which require this. Importing these certificates (file extensions "der", cer" and "p12") can be done via Download-Manager, AirDrop, iTunes, or by sharing them with iCab Mobile from within other Apps. Depending of the certificate the user may need to enter the password for this certificate when opening the web site
- The twin mode will offer some new options for the proportions of the two browser windows (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) if the screen width is wide enough (iPad in landscape mode). These options can be configured for the action menu, gestures and are also available when long-pressing the "twin mode" toolbar icon.
- There's a new option for the quickstarter background. It can be now configured light, dark or follow the dark mode settings of the system
- The menu to edit the quickstarter within the quickstarter page can be now hidden or shown via "pull-down" gesture
- There's a new option to open a "Private Tab" (via action menu, Tabs window or by long-pressing the "+" in the tabs toolbar). These special private tabs are completely sealed off from the rest of the App and can not acccess any of the available data (like cookies), don't have a history and can not store any data in the browser. Closing these private Tabs will immediatelly remove all traces of them. These special private Tabs are marked with a red line in the tabs button within the tabs toolbar.
The normal "private mode" that existed before is still available and still works as before. The big difference between the private mode and the private tabs is that in private mode the user can still save certain Cookies permanently (via Cookie filters) so they don't get lost, and existing cookies can be used by all Tabs. In "private mode" all private data is only deleted when leaving the App (maybe with a delay, as configured in the privacy settings). Also the "private mode" still offers a history and there're settings where the user can configure how "private" the private mode should be.
- Added a few new search engines into the list of default search engines
- Bugfix: The search engine settings for the quickstarter were not synced via iCloud if iCloud sync was enabled
- Bugfix: Fixes a wrong background color in dark mode in the "Quick actions" settings
- Bugfix: Fixes a crash in the quickstarter when deleting a search engine in the settings while this search engine was still active in the quickstarter
- Bugfix: Fixes a crash in the Watch App of iCab Mobile when trying to open the homepage when no home page was configured.
10.5.1
2022-02-24
Bugfix for users who still use iOS 14.5 - 14.8.x
A serious bug in these iOS releases can cause a crash after launching the App when iCab tries to enable or disable a certain iOS feature which is supposed to be available since iOS 14.5. But unfortunately this is crashing under iOS iOS 14.5 - 14.8.1. Therefore the new version is now using this feature since iOS 15 only, where Apple has fixed this bug and it does no longer crash.
You do not need this update when still using iOS 14.4 or older or when already using iOS 15 or newer.
10.5
2022-02-23
- The Watch App of iCab Mobile can now be used to browser the web (since watchOS 6.2) directly on the watch. But there are a few watchOS-related restrictions: The watchOS always shows a privacy warning when starting a browsing session and there are no navigation buttons (back/forward) available. A session can be started by opening a bookmark or by initiating a search. On the iPhone you can pick a folder in the settings whose content will be used as the bookmarks on the watch. Alternatively it's also possible to have all Bookmarks available on the watch (configurable in the "Apple Watch" settings of iCab Mobile)
- A new design for the quickstarter allows to change icon type and size directly in the quickstarter and there's now also a search feature with multiple search engines integrated.
- A new option in the "Tabs" settings to switch to the left instead of the right Tab when closing the active Tab.
- In the settungs under "Services > Content for Share Sheet" there are new options to share the current page
- A new option in the user interface settings allows to use a flat contextual menu instead of the normal hierarchical one
- The menu for the Homescreen App icon can be empty as well.
- It's now possible to add items to directly open certain accounts to the menu of the Homescreen App icon.
- When entering an invalid URL with space characters, iCab won't interpret the input as search term, but instead will not correct the URL and open it directly.
- It is now possible to add the bookmarks and history into the action or FavIcon menu.
- The option to change the Browser ID within the action menu will now directly reload the current page with the newly selected ID
- Under iOS 15 it could happen that custom multitouch gestures were delayed if the web site was still scrolling at that time.
- Bugfix: The option to open RSS Feeds in the FavIcon or Action menu did not work
- Bugfix: Saving and filling out forms using the forms manager of iCab Mobile did no longer work under iOS 13 and older
- Bugfix: In case a link opens in another existing Tab and this Tab should stay in the background due to the Tabs settings, iCab Mobile will now show an animation so it is visible in which Tab the link opened.
- Bugfix: Fixes an issue with „HTML-Accesskeys“ under iOS 15
10.4
2021-12-10
- There's a new option in the user interface settings which allows to customize the menu of the App icon on the homescreen. The iOS allows up to 4 custom menu items in the menu.
- There's a new option in the user interface settings which alows to customize the additional keys that are attached to the keyboard of the address field to help entering URLs. It's now possible to add your own keys, edit or remove existing ones.
- There's a new option available in the "Services > E-Mail/SMS" settings which when enabled will pass all E-Mail links (when shared or tapped on) to the default E-Mail app of the iOS, instead of sending the E-Mail directly from within iCab Mobile.
- There's a new option for the contextual menu available, which allows to search for other occurences in the web of the selected image on a web site. This feature uses the google reverse image search.
- The suggestions which are listed while editing text in the address field will now include matching Tabs as well, if enabled in the settings. Selecting such a suggestion will activate this tab
- The History shows the time of the last visit of a web site now.
- The contextual menu of a tab allows to shar the tab now
- In the Design settings it's now possible to configure that inactive tabs will be always darker then active ones in dark mode. This will make the toolbars slightly brighter in dark mode, so make sure that the contract between active and inactive tabs is large enough. Otherwise the inactive tabs can become brighter than the active tab, in order to create a contrast that is large enough
- The import feature of the Downloads Manager supports to import multiple files at once
- Since iOS 15 it is possible support downloads which a web site provides via "blob" URLs.
- Bugfix for iOS 15: A few shortcuts for Bluetooth keyboards didn't work anymore under iOS 15, this is fixed again.
- Improved auto-fill feature for forms in iOS 14 and newer
- Fixes an issue with the Document Provider extension for the Files App under iOS 15
10.3
2021-10-11
- A bug in iOS 15 caused a crash when opening the print window and the name of the last used printer contains certain special characters. The new version of iCab Mobile avoids this issue by no longer trying to configure the last used printer as default for the print job. Therefore you may need to pick the printer manually, in case you are using multiple printers and the iOS has not picked the correct one as default.
- Because iOS 15 falsely shows the file sharing extension within the "Files" App which was supposed to be provided for older iOS releases only, this extension was removed from iCab Mobile now.
- An issue within the web engine of iOS 15 had the result that under certain circumstances the "Font size" option for web sites did not always work. This is now fixed.
- Adds a workaround for a crashing issue of the HandOff feature of the iOS. HandOff crashes when trying to share URLs which match certain patterns. The new release of iCab filters out the problematic URL patterns.
- iCab Mobile allows to switch Tabs by just swiping the whole web site to the left or right, revealing the Tab which is located at this side. This is very convenient and fast, but can cause confusion if the web site itself can be scrolled horizontally, because then the swipe gesture will first scroll as far as possible before switching to the next Tab. On the iPhone a new option allows to do a swipe gesture to the left or right on the bottom toolbar as well, which will switch Tabs even faster, regardless if horizontally scrolling is possible. This option can be enabled in the "Tabs" settings
- When entering a URL into the addressfield the browser will allow incomplete URLs. It will automatically add the missing parts (for example it will add missing URL schemes like "http://", etc) if this is possible. If by adding a missing URL scheme would not create a valid URL, the input is treated as search term and will initiate a search. In case the user wants to search for an email address, this approach did fail, because an email address is a valid domain name and when completed by "http://" would be a perfectly valid URL. So in this case iCab would have tried to opened the e-mail domain as web site instead of searching for the e-mail address. The new release of iCab will now detect email-addresses and will initiate a search for them.
- Bugfix: In case iCab was configured to automatically logout of the current account when leaving the App, and the Addressfield was activated when leaving the App, the Address suggestions window was not closed.
- Bugfix: Fixes a few issues within the default filters which are shipped with the App
10.2.3
2021-08-13
- For Bluetooth keyboards it is now possible to define shortcuts to zoom web sites
- Bugfix: in certain cases the site-specific browser IDs were not evaluated
- Bugfix: Under older iOS releases the Quickstarter did no longer open the links
10.1.3
2021-01-05
- Fixes a crash under iOS 14 at launch time when the App was not yet installed.
10.1.2
2021-01-04
- Danish translation added
- The search from within the text selection menu will be added to the general search history now as well
- Bugfix: A few RSS feeds were downloaded instead of displayed within the built-in RSS reader
- Bugfix: Assigning a module to a gesture did no longer work under iOS 14
- Bugfix: The translation feature for a text selection didn't work anymore
- Bugfix: The User Interface will work much better with extra large system fonts
10.1.1
2020-11-17
- Bugfix: Solves an issue with the domain exceptions of the filters
- Bugfix: fixes an issue with the automatic update of AdBlock Plus filter lists which do not define certain meta data abiut the filters. Without this information iCab could not link the updated list tio the existing link and stored the update a new list. So with each automatic update a new copy was created, which resulted in performance issue after a while because of the many copies of the list. Now this problem will be detected and resolved.
- In the "Design" settings for the user interface it is now possible to optionally define the colors by their hexadecimal values as well
10.1
2020-11-09
- The support for the popular filter lists from "Adblock Plus", "Easylist", "uBlock" and compatible was improved. Now, iCab Mobile also supports the fully automatic update of these filter lists in the background. By default iCab uses the recommended update interval defined by these filter lists, but you can nevertheless change the update interval yourself (this can be useful because even though the filter lists do change all the time, the changes which are relevant for you are usually not that big, so a longer update interval can save some network traffic without any disadvantages). The option to change the update interval can be found when opening the filter list in the filter settings. Here you'll also find a button to update the list immediatelly.
In the list of filter groups you can tap on the "+" at the top right to open several web sites (AdBlock Plus, Easylist, Filterlists) from where you get get and install such filter lists. These web sites contain special "Add" or "Subscribe" links, which should be used to directly install the filters.
Previous versions of iCab Mobile did already support these third-party filter lists, though without the "auto-update" feature. So if you have imported such filters before, you should import these filters again from from their web site, so that iCab can now get the information about the auto-update and then it will be able to update the filters in the future fully automatically.
- Bugfix: Solves an issue when importing AdBlock-Plus compatible filter lists
- New option "Desktop Fullscreen Mode" for videos added in the "Website" settings. Some web sites enable the fullscreen mode for videos in a different way on mobile and desktop browsers. With this option the "Desktop Fullscreen Mode" can be enabled in general, disabled in general and enabled only in "Desktop mode" (which means the browser uses a Browser ID of a desktop browser).
10.0.3
2020-10-23
- In the new filter lists CSS filters now show not only the CSS selectors but also their URL
- Bugfix: On the iPad under iOS 14 renaming of files failed in the download manager when this was done from within the search results
- Bugfix: Saving PDFs or pictures did not save these directly but instead as web archive
- Bugfix: when leaving the App while a password box for a HTTP authentication request was open, the App had to be restarted in order to open other HTTP authentication password requests.
- Bugfix: importing filters from Cloud services manually did not work.
- Bugfix: The filter settings could not be opened from within the Action menu
10.0.2
2020-10-15
- Directly importing filter lists from the AdBlock Plus web site is now also possible
- Supports fullscreen mode for videos for web sites which are only supporting this via "Desktop" mode
- Fixes an incompatibility in the default search engines list when syncing it with the Mac version of iCab
- Fixes a small issue with a few links after using the contextual menu on the link
10.0.1
2020-10-03
- The new filters of version 10.0 are different to the filters of older iCab versions. Therefore the old exception filters won't work anymore. The new version of iCab Mobile did convert the old filters into the noew format, but unfortunately because of a bug converted an exception filter into a "blocking" filter instead of disabling it.
This is now fixed. Also the new version is now disabling all the old predefined filter groups which were meant for exception filters. This way many of the filter issues should be solved. Though exception filters in other filter groups can still be wrong.
In case you're using third-party filters from AdBlock Plus, Easylist, uBlock or compatible, you should simply delete these filters in the App and import them again from the web sites where these lists are provided. But you may still check the filters you've created yourself.
You'll find further information about the new filters and how the work in the FAQ (Settings > FAQ)
- Solves an issue with Firefox-Sync which had the result that the emails with the validation code for the login would not be sent.
- Fixes an issue with the new version of Dropbox.
- Fixes an issue when sending Mails from within the App (opening "mailto" links) if the Apple Mail App was deleted from the device.
10.0
2020-09-28
- iCab Mobile can be configured as Default Browser under iOS 14. In order to do this, please open the "Settings" App from the homescreen, here open the settings for iCab Mobile. Now you can change the default browser to "iCab Mobile". This way other Apps which could only open a web site in Safari in the past, can now open the page in iCab Mobile (or any other browser that is configured as default browser).
- The option to use the classic web engine is no longer available. The App will always use the modern engine. Apps which can be configured as default browser are not allowed to support the classic web engine. But because in December Apple won't accept Apps and updates supporting the classic web engine anymore in general, removing the support for the classic web engine is unavoidable nevertheless. So it doesn't really matter if this is the case now or in a few weeks.
The modern engine is much more stable than the classic engine and also supports modern web standard which the classic did not, so overall the switch to the modern engine is a good thing.
However there are still a few features which can not be implemented using the modern web engine right now (like the App-specific Proxy support). So in case you rely on these features, please no not update.
- Removing the support for the classic web engine also has the effect that the update will no longer run under iOS 10 or older. The minimum iOS version is now iOS 11. The modern web engine has too many restrictions before iOS 11 so that it wouldn't be usable for iCab Mobile and its features.
- The filter manager is completely redesigned and will now support all aspects of the modern web engine and is much more powerful than before. The App will transfer old existing filters into the new system, but in case you've imported filters for the popular Ad Blockers AdBlock Plus, Easylist, uBlock or compatible in the past, you should delete these filters and import these filter lists from scratch again. The new filter manager is able to use much more details of these popular filter lists, so re-importing these filters will make these more powerful.
- The option "reload without filters" (long-pressing the "reload" button) is now working with the modern web engine as well. This option is useful to reload a web site without applying any filters only this one time, without the need to switch off the filters manually in the settings and swtich them back on later again
- Includes some more improvements for iOS 14
- Users of the Mac version of iCab can now use iCloud to sync the bookmarks, reading list, tabs and the filters with iCab Mobile. Please note that this feature requires the new version iCab 6 for the Mac.
- Because older iOS releases before iOS 11 are no longer supported, there are many internal improvements and optimiziations. Many things for which older iOS releases did not provide a solution had to be done by the App itself, but often with some restrictions because it was impossible to get all the required information. Dropping support for older iOS releases makes it possible to rely on iOS features which are only available under newer iOS releases. One example is the notification about the use of the clipbard under iOS 14 after launching iCab Mobile if it should check if the clipboard contains a URL and ask the user to open it (this feature can be enabled/disabled in the "App Start" settings). Newer iOS releases make it possible to check for URLs within the clipboard without the need for the App to actually read in the content of the clipboard and then check if the content is a URL itself, so this notification under iOS 14 can be avoided.
9.18
2020-08-15
Minor improvements and fixes
9.17.1
2020-07-17
- There's a new "undo" feature available for bookmarks, so you can undo the last change that was done to the bookmarks. In order to undo changes within the bookmarks, enable the "Edit" mode and then you can find the "undo" botton in the toolbar of the bookmarks window. iCab Mobile will also show the date of the version you can go back to.
- Fixes an issue with the modern web engine and downloads. The downloads did not always use the site cookies, which a few web sites don't like and therefore return an error.
- Fixes an issue with the modern web engine, which sometimes failed to play videos after switching users accounts
9.17
2020-07-07
- When using the modern web engine it could happen that Tabs lost their content if the device is running out of free memory (usually when a large number of Tabs were open and/or these sites consumed a large amount of memory). Now, iCab Mobile stores additional information about each Tab to make sure that these can be restored in this case nevertheless.
- The site-specific Browser IDs are now also available for the modern web engine. Please note that because of limitations of the modern engine, the correct ID might not be applied in case a server redirects the browser to a completely other address. But this case isn't that common, so most of the time this limitation shouldn't be an issue
- Since iOS 13.4 the modern web engine has an issue with selecting text on web sites, which doesn't work reliable anymore. As a workaround it was possible to enable the link preview for the contextual menu, which had the side effect that the text selection worked again. The new version of iCab Mobile contains a better workaround for this issue so that it is no longer necessary to enable the link preview.
- Fixes a crash when revoking the permission to access the photo album, but still trying to save photos in the album.
Note: Apple will no longer accept the classic web engine after December 2020. Therefore iCab Mobile will now use the modern engine as default. But you can still switch back to the classic engine in the settings, if you need to.
9.16
2020-06-19
- Firefox Sync introduced a new validation method for logins. iCab Mobile supports this new validation method now.
- Fixes a bug when parsing "x-callback-url" URLs where a "query" part exists which contains certain characters
- Fixes a few modules which failed to work properly under iOS 13.
- When transferring files from the "Files" App to iCab Mobile, iCab won't create another copy of the file if this files came from iCab Mobile in the first place (the source within the "Files" App was iCab Mobile itself)
- Solves an issue where the "pull-to-refresh" gesture loads the quickstarter instead of reloading the current page
- The "Rules" within the Downloads are now also applied when saving files into the downloads (files received from other Apps or when saving web pages), previously these rules where only applied for real downloads
- Fixes an issue importing cookie filters
- Solves an issue with the contextual menu when the link preview for contextual menus is enabled
9.15.5
2020-04-28
- Because iOS 13 introduces new system-wide three finger gestures for copy & paste operations and these system gestures are even active when nothing can be copied or pasted, iCab's own 3-finger gestures could no longer be used. Now, if the user has configured 3-finger gestures in iCab Mobile for certain actions iCab disables the system gestures as long as the keyboard is closed. So iCab's own 3-finger gestures can be used again, and while the keyboard is open the system gestures are activated again and can be used for copy & paste operations as well.
- The preview for the contextual menu can be now configured separately for links in web sites and bookmarks. A new bug in iOS 13.4 has the result that no text can be selected on web sites anymore when using the "modern" web engine and if the preview for the contextual menu for links is switched off. As a workaround for this iOS bug you should enable the preview for the contextual menu. But because you might not want to have the previews enabled for bookmarks as well, you can configure this separately.
- There's a new option in the "Privacy" settings where you can configure what to do when loading a resource with an untrusted certificate. iCab Mobile can either ask what to do (block temporarily or forever, allow temporarily or forever), or if the resource should be blocked right away (without any alert box asking what to do).
- The screenshot feature (in the settings under "Tools") provides a new option where iCab Mobile can ask each time if you want to create a screenshot of the whole page or only the visible area.
9.15.1
2020-03-29
Sorry, there was a small issue left in the last release, which is fixed now: When still using the classic engine on an iPad, the contextual menu did not open with a very specific combination of settings.
9.15
2020-03-27
- A bug within the new iOS 13.4 can prevent that you can still select text on web sites. This iOS bug only affects iPads when using the modern web engine and only if the option to show a link preview together with the contextual menu is disabled. Therefore the App will now enable the preview for the contextual menu by default on iPads running iOS 13.4 when using the modern web engine, until Apple fixes this bug again. You can still disable the preview in the "Uuser Interface" settings in case you like the old behavior more and if you do not need to select (and copy/paste) text. This new iOS 13.4 bug does not show up on an iPhone.
- The "URL" icon of the fullscreen mode shows the FavIcon menu for the long-press gestures
- The "Reload" icon (toolbar or fullscreen mode) now shows additional options for a long-press gesture.
- The ShareSheet can be opened via shortcut for bluetooth keyboards.
- In the Proxy settings (only for the classic web engine) there's a new switch „Basic Auth“. If the proxy uses "Basic Auth" as authorization scheme, you should enable this switch to bypass a bug of the iOS which could result in failing authentication because the iOS is not accepting the provided credentials but instead looks for them in the system settings (where these are not stored).
- Bugfix: A few RSS-Feeds were not correctly identified as RSS-Feeds when using the modern web engine
- Bugfix: On an iPhone 6/7/8 Plus popup windows or menus could not alwas be closed easily in landscape orientation.
- Bugfix: The default darm mode for web sites now has much less issues with inverted photos.
- Bugfix: Fixes a rare crash when using the search feature within the settings
- Bugfix: When deleting the cookies in the Privacy setting, the number of existing cookies was not updated immediatelly.
- Bugfix: In case the dark mode of iOS was enabled, the checkmark which marks the default search engine was difficult to see
- Bugfix: In case the brightness control of the App was configured to dim the browser view, the web site could no longer be controlled via VoiceOver
9.14.7
2020-01-16
Fixes an issue under older iOS releases (iOS 10 and older), where the address field did not respond to touches. This update is not relevant when using iOS 11 and newer
9.14.6
2020-01-14
- New web debugging module added: "Eruda"

9.14
2019-09-17
- There are changes for the dark mode of iCab Mobile under iOS 13 in order to avoid conflicts with the new system-wide dark mode or iOS 13. Under iOS 13 the user interface of iCab Mobile will be always linked to the dark mode of the iOS. So if you enable the dark mode in the iOS, the user interface of iCab Mobile will automatically use the dark mode as well. iCab's own dark mode setting will only affect web sites now (which is because many web sites do not work fine with the dark mode, so they do need to be handled individually). Under iOS 12 and older, the dark mode setting of iCab Mobile will still be applied to the user interface and web site at the same time, just as before. Because of this change the dark mode setting of iCab Mobile will be moved to the "Web site" setting under iOS 13, while it remains in the User Interface settings under iOS 12 and older.
- Under iOS 13 the contextual menu for links (when using the modern Web Engine) and bookmarks can now have a preview of the linked page. This can be configured in the settings (Settings > User Interface > Menüs > Preview for contextual menu). Under iOS 12 and older this preview is only available on devices with "3D Touch" (deep-press on a link), the contextual menu uses a seperate gesture (long-press on the link) and is available on all devices. Under iOS 13 both is now combined and also works on devices without 3D Touch hardware, both gestures (deep-press and long-press) are treated the same. While the preview can be useful, it can be annoying as well because it needs a lot of additional space. Therefore you can configure whether the preview should be shown together with the contextual menu or not.
- For warnings related to untrusted server certificates, the App provides an option to directly inspect the certificate chain.

9.13
2019-08-28
- New option to switch the WebEngine (requires iOS 11 or later).
The iOS provides two APIs for its web engine, the 'classic' and the 'modern' one. The latter is supposed to replace the former, unfortunately it's still lacking a lot of features of the no longer officially maintained 'classic' API. Therefore iCab Mobile lets you pick the web engine you want to use.

9.11
2018-05-30
DARK MODE
There's new feature, called "Dark Mode". The dark mode draws user interface and web site with dark colors, so this mode is great for reading in the night. Also on the iPhone X this mode can save battery power.
The Dark mode can be enabled in the User Interface settings, or via toolbar icons or by an entry in the Action menu (Toolbar and Action menu can be configured in the User Interface settings).
The way the App presents web sites when the dark mode is enabled can be configured as well. The default presentation is to change the background to black and use a light text, but you can also just dim the web page, present it in sepia or grayscales or invert all colors. iCab Mobile can save these settings individually for each web site, so if there are issues with one type of presentation, you can try another one.
You can configure the Dark Mode in the Settings under "User Interface > Dark Mode" manually. Much easier it is to just use the icon for the dark mode in the browser toolbar: just tap on it to switch on or off the dark mode, long-press on the icon to directly pick a certain presentation for the dark mode.
BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD
- Searching within the Bookmarks, Settings or other windows can be now done using a bluetooth keyboard as well. Use the keyboard shortcut Cmd-F to activate the search field.
- The Tabs window with the large thumbnail preview images can be also controlled with a bluetooth keyboard. Use the Cursor keys to select a tab, the Return key to open the selected Tab, the Backspace key to close the selected tab and use the "+" key to create a new Tab.
- Links on Web pages can be also opened using a bluetooth keyboard. Use Alt-Tab or Shift-Alt-Tab to select the next or previous link and the Return key to open the selected link. ESC (or Cmd-W) can be used to remove the link selection
- Web sites which define their own keyboard shortcuts via HTML attribute "AccessKey" can be controlled via Bluetooth keyboard as well. The shortcuts of the web site must be entered with the "Alt" modifier key.
VOICE OVER

- Bugfix: A few missing VoiceOver hints were added
MISCELLANEOUS

- Bugfix: The new iOS 11 introduces a "webRTC.PeerConnection" object in its web engine, but does not yet use it. This new object can expose the IP address in VPN networks. The new version of iCab Mobile will overwrite this object to prevent the exposure of the IP address.
- Bugfix: Solves an issue with automatically filling out forms when a web site splits the login into two forms (one for the name and one for the password) and changes the type for the "name" field between these two forms
- Bugfix: The "Auto-Refresh" module did not work correctly if the option "autostart" was not active
- Bugfix: Now, the downloads will be checked for changes in the background (for example if iTunes or other Apps have added or deleted files while iCab was not running), to prevent delays when launching the App and there are thousands of files stored in the downloads.
- Bugfix: When saving many pictures at once into the album in the downloads window it could happen that not all of these images were saved.
9.10.7
2018-03-08
- In the Download Manager there's a new option to sort the files.
- In the Download Manager you can now define rules to post-process downloads.

These rules apply to finished downloads in the "root folder" of the downloads window. Create or edit these rules using the new button "Rules" in the toolbar of the downloads window.
Just like the "smart folder" feature for the bookmarks, this feature is a bonus for all users who have supported the App development by giving a tip (Settings > Store) and also all new users who have bought the App within the last year or buy it now.
- There's a new search feature available in the Tabs window as well
- Since iOS 11: While searching within the Bookmarks, it is possible to directly delete or edit the bookmarks of the search result (via swipe gesture to the left)

9.10.6
2018-01-23

9.10.0
2017-09-26
- Added Drag & Drop support for the iPad under iOS 11.
You can drag Bookmarks, History entries, Reading list items, Links and the FavIcon as web addresses and Download entries as files. The App is able to receive web addresses in the bookmarks and reading list window to store the address as new bookmarks, and in the URL field, the Tabs in the Tabs toolbar and in the web site area to open the address directly. The App also receives files in the Downloads Manager to store the file there. Dragging a web adress into the downloads window will download the file, dragging a file into a tab will directly open it here.
You can also directly drag a login entry from the 1Password App into a web site with login form, to fill out the form.
In the "User Interface" settings you can even disable the "Drag" operation for the bookmarks, history, downloads and reading list. This can be useful if you do not use Drag & Drop. The problem is that Drag operations and the contextual menu are both initiated by long-pressing on an item. If there's a contextual menu available for an item for which Drag & Drop is provided as well, the contextual menu will be delayed by the iOS, so it will open after about 3 sec instead of after only 1 sec. So switching off the "Drag" operation will reduce the delay back to 1 sec again.
- New option in the Privacy setting to clear all the private data at once
- iCab Mobile supports the new "Files" App of iOS 11. The downloads of iCab Mobile can be accessed from within the "Files" App if the "Downloads Sharing" option in the Network settings of iCab Mobile is either set to "iTunes" (in which case the files are accessible by iTunes and via "On your device" within the Files App) or set to "Apps" (in which case the files are accessible via "Files of iCab Mobile"). It you switch off the "Downloads Sharing" option in iCab Mobile, the downloads are not accessible by other Apps at all.

- There's a new option "Auto" for the option "Display IDN" (IDN: International Domain Name) in the Network settings. This option will display all IDNs with the exception of those which contain characters that look similar to those with the ASCII range. This way it is easy to identify phishing attacks which use IDNs for fake domain names, so you do not need to switch off the display of IDNs completely.
- iCab Mobile supports the "Handoff" feature of the iOS. Handoff can used to transfer the whole session (all tabs) from one iOS device to another or the current Tab to Sfarai on a Mac. Handoff can be switched off in the "Services" settings.
