"Reality"
Well for anyone who cares, iCab has now been updated with tabs and a better look.
Its starting to look an awful like Safari but it can probably still work on your Quadra. ;)
This is new in the iCab 2.9.5 release:

• Support for "Tabbed browsing". iCab does now support "Tabs" in a very comfortable way.
• Highly customizable Toolbars and a much better graphical user interface (GUI) with many new features
• New autocomplete feature for the URL location field.
• The MacOSX version is now an application package which includes many different languages
• Many other bugfixes and small improvements...

For those with lower-end systems (pre-OS X and pre-Gx)and still want to browse the web, this is a great browser, and for those in the higher end may like some the features that it offers.

The bit that I have been using it on my 7200, it feels like it reanders faster, but it still has a lot to go on many web sites. The look is an improvement and the customability is great, but it still has the most ugliest icons for any program I have ever used, I'm wondering if my old icons will work on this update.

iCab's back!

It is great to see the most under-rated browser on the Mac get the features that all other browsers now feature like tabs, built-in search and... a whole bunch of stuff. I would love to see iCab re-written as a Cocoa application just so that I could spell-check my posts using the simple contextual menu (just like in Safari). Some web-sites still render the text in strange ways; if you are using iCab visit www.macdailynews.com to see what I mean. Anyway, Safari 1.0 does not load on my computer because I tried launching it with an older Safari still installed so iCab will be my main browser at least until Apple gets it right.
