iPad Safari crashing regularly

Safari on my iPad is crashing fairly frequently; sometimes when I restart it retains the pages that were previously open, and sometimes not.

Have not yet established a pattern, but it seems prevalent on very large pages (for example pages with many images) and on pages with embedded video (particularly Flash).

Anyone else experiencing the same issue and/or have any further information? Anybody using a browser other than Safari on the iPad?

Mac OS X (10.5.1)

How can these issues be hardware related? Are these products not designed by the best hardware and software teams of our time? Given the fact that these teams had the finest management in order for them to stay in specs and budget? Also let's not ignore the world's best manufacturing along with the finest marketing and sales force?

I think that he only things that are missing is product compatibility with the rest of the world and real support.

I have a iPad classic. I cannot count how many times a day Safari crashes. Sometimes I am on pages that have apps, but the apps do not always work that great. CNN's app is good, but the Facebook app is not so good. It is usually missing a lot of recent posts. So I would prefer to use Safari. However regardless of what page I am on, any time I am using Safari it crashes many many times. I am beyond frustrated. From reading through here this is just a problem Apple has failed to fix and there is nothing I can do about it. Would I be better served to use Google Chrome or some other browser? Do those experience these same issues? It is driving me crazy. I have started using apps for anything I can, but I actually got this device so I could have access to the internet when not at home so I am pretty irritated that the one thing that does not work at all is the internet browser.


Thanks
