iCab has adhered to standards for the longest time, for both MacOS 9 and OS X. iCab has the clean look and feel of Safari, and, as a replacement for IE, eliminates the regular MacOS 9 crashes.

It's web developers who don't adhere to W3C standards. With iCab you have a button to report obvious HTML syntax errors, like orphan closing tags, instantly for any page. When you use iCab and this feature, you come to realize how far web designers are from professional. They get something to work with IE on a PC and ship it.
