Q: iPad Safari crashing regularly

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.

If so my iPad Air will be always affected by multiple and random crashes caused by Low Memory...
If so I could never surf the WEB without the worry that at any time my Browser can crash, without any notice...
What can I say... this is clearly an embarrassing problem for Apple!!!

Feb 1, 2014 7:00 AMby sarjenka,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

It doesn't matter which browser or app. It is caused by a low memory error, so I originally thought it was because I only have 256 MB of memory. You can turn off JavaScript but you will lose some functionality.

Now, what a decent programmer does it to make his program refuse to perform an operation if there is not enough memory available. Letting the program crash when there is not enough memory for some operation is far from "gracious"; it is very sloppy programming.
