iCab-supporting Apps

The following Apps are explicitly supporting iCab Mobile. For example they can open or forward web-pages to iCab Mobile instead of opening them in Safari. Especially because the iOS doesn't provide a way to change the default browser, this can be very important for the user. Users of alternative browsers usually want to open all web sites in these browsers instead of Safari.

If you're a developer whose App supports iCab Mobile, or if you know of an App which supports iCab Mobile, please let me know. I'd be happy to add more Apps to the list below.

If you're a developer whose Apps do not yet support iCab Mobile, please consider doing so. It's very easy to do and when using the AppLink protocol you probably only need a few minutes to do so. Also AppLink can automatically enable iCab Mobile to support your App as well, in case your App is based on a certain web-based service (like for example Twitter, Facebook, Wikipanion, Blogs etc.)

iCab-unterstützende Apps

Die folgenden Apps unterstützten explizit iCab Mobile. Beispielsweise können diese Web-Seiten in iCab Mobile öffnen, bzw. an iCab Mobile weiterleiten, anstatt sie in Safari zu öffnen. Dies kann für den Anwender wichtig sein, da das iOS selbst leider nicht erlaubt den Standard-Browser (Safari) zu ändern. Und Anwender alternativer Browser würden natürlich gerne diesen anstatt des Safari verwenden.

Falls Sie ein Entwickler eines Apps sind, welches iCab Mobile unterstützt, oder solche Apps kennen, teilen Sie mir dies bitte mit. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ich hier noch weitere Apps auflisten könnte.

Falls Sie ein Entwickler sind, dessen Apps noch nicht iCab Mobile unterstützen, dann würde ich mich freuen, wenn sie es noch tun. Das ist mit Hilfe des AppLink-Protokols sehr einfach und in wenigen Minuten erledigt. AppLink ermöglicht es außerdem, dass iCab auch automatisch Ihr App unterstützen kann, sofern das App auf einem web-basiertem Angebot aufbaut (wie z.B. Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, Blogs, usw.)
