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)

I too have had many crashes on my iPad 2. The Genious Bar has not been helpful at all... I've always been a huge fan of Apple but I swithed my iPhone for the new Samsung 4s and I'm letting go of my ipad too... I have lost confidence in Apple and its ability to service me as a valued customer. The only way I can show my displeasure with Apple is to spend my money with another company.

This problem isn't as complicated as it seems..... Just use a different browser until ios 7.1 comes out I've been using chrome. Not only is a better browser it doesn't crash. If you don't like google there is plenty of options out there. I have the 64gb ipad air lte. It's the best tablet out there. Coming from owing a surface nexus and a galaxy tab. Android and windows have A LOOOOOOOONG way to come. Stop saying the ipad is a piece of crap why would you keep buying apple products if you really believed that.

Other replies to this thread said that the problem would still happen if I downloaded Chrome. That effects all browers? Also iPad one users can't get all the updates. I have an iPad one and I can't even use safari at this poiint it crashes so often. If Chrome will work I will be thrilled to get it, but the feedback on this forum said it happens on all browsers. Can anyone confirm this?
