What does the Exclamation Mark in iCab's cursor mean?

[iCab's exclamation mark cursor] Sometimes, iCab's cursor has an exclamation mark in it, like the one in the picture. The exclamation mark can be attached to different cursors like the hand or the arrow, and can also have different appearances depending on your configuration (e. g. it could be black instead of red).

Point your mouse cursor anywhere on this light green box to test the title.

The presence of this exclamation mark tells you that there is more information (the so-called title) about this link available. Just hover over it for a moment (i. e. don't move the mouse while the exclamation mark is shown) and look into the status bar at the bottom of your browser window. You should see the title displayed within quotes.

(iCab 3 on Mac OS X idles for a second or so before showing the title as a tooltip, as you can see in the picture with the title Gelbes Polygon. This behaviour is very annoying because at the same time the status bar change is omitted, causing a huge slow down any time you actually want to read the title. Please report this as a bug to Alexander Clauss. :-))

If you don't have a status bar at the bottom of the iCab window, you can turn it on by choosing View -> Status Bar.
