iCab 2.9 released

[edX]

available here.

What's new in this version:


¥ It is now possible to define key shortcuts for all search engines which are configured in the "iCab preferences > Searches > Internet Sites". The key shortcut is one letter (upper/lower case does matter) that can be entered in the location field of the browser window to search something with this search engine.
This works the following way: First enter the key shortcut, followed by a space character and followed by the search keywords. For example if you've configured the letter "g" for google.com you can enter "g iCab" in the location field to search for iCab using the search engine google.com.
¥ Because of a bug in MacOSX 10.2.x parts of the text does overlap when printing web pages. A workaround will avoid this new bug of the MacOSX.
¥ The Reload button does only reload files which have changed on the server. Only if you hold down the SHIFT key while clicking the Reload button, all files will be loaded from the web, regardless if they have changed or if they have not changed.
¥ The Web Cache and the image cache (and some other components) were completely replaced by new routines. Because of this iCab is now much faster (depending of the page). Also see the file "iCab 2.9 Documentation"

total css compliance is still missing but graphics do render faster. since icab was already working faster than anything else for me, i can't say that i've noticed any other remarkable differences yet. (i've only been using it for about an hour )

i still think this is the best browser outside of safari and it is available for all mac os's. there is even a 68k version.
