How to exit Kiosk mode?

The kiosk mode intentionally has only a minimal user interface, so that users of the kiosk only find the permitted navigation options and have no possibility to change the settings. Therefore, logging out of kiosk mode is only possible by a complicated multi-touch gesture and entering a password (both can be set in the kiosk settings via the admin profile). Alternatively, you can also access the iCab Mobile settings via the iOS “Settings” app and select the “Log out current user” option there.

Why are all tabs closed when you briefly leave the app?

All tabs remain open by default, but this behavior can be changed via some settings. The “Open on startup” option from the “App startup” settings, for example, determines what should be opened when the app is started. If all tabs are to remain open, the selection “Session (all tabs)” must remain selected there. Even if “Private mode” is activated, tabs could be closed after the app is closed if configured accordingly. Private mode should explicitly not save any private data permanently, and since tabs also contain private data, tabs can also be closed. In the “Privacy” settings, you can specify exactly which private data should be retained, and you can also exclude tabs so that they are retained.

Is there an easy way to open the ShareSheet directly?

This works by tapping and holding the “Action” icon. The share window then opens directly instead of the action menu. However, the ShareSheet can also be accessed via the action menu.

Is it possible to save all current tabs?

The app supports tab groups. This means that you can save all current tabs as a group. Tab groups can be reopened at any time and then replace the current tabs. Tab groups can be managed via the icon on the far left in the table bar (alternatively by holding down the tab icon in the browser bar).

How to set iCab Mobile as the default browser on the device?

The default browser can only be set via the system settings. In the iCab Mobile settings under “App, Home screen” there is an option “Set default browser”, which opens the corresponding setting option in the system settings. There you can then set iCab Mobile as the default browser.

How can I set iCab Mobile to always display the “desktop” version of websites?

In the “Network” settings under “Browser ID”, you can specify the name with which iCab Mobile identifies itself. Many websites deliver “desktop” versions of websites if the name with which a browser identifies itself corresponds to that of a “desktop” browser. Therefore, selecting a desktop browser ID can help. In general, you should use one of the Safari IDs, as these usually work best.
Caution: Not all websites evaluate the browser ID and can be persuaded to deliver the desktop version.
