Is anyone experiencing problems with unstable browsers? No matter which one I use, they tend sometimes to crash, if I open more than one tab at a time.. Its pretty damn annoying.. :(

The Perfect Browser seems very imperfect.
I usually have just a few tabs open but it seems to crash quite often.
Safari I find hopeless in that when you re-open a page it tries to reload it and if it fails cause you're offline you get left with a blank screen instead of the interesting thing you loaded earlier but only half read....
Is there any way around that?

I got Atomic because everybody said it was the best browser period. It crashes every 15 minutes :mad:

Safari's stable but hopeless for me for the reason I gave above.
Is there a way to stop it re-loading unasked leaving me with
1 If I'm offline, a blank screen
2 If I'm online, an annoying wait

???

iCabMobile works for me

I usually have about 5 of 6 pages open with no crashes to date. Knock on wood.

I use a atomic. Yes it crashes every now and then, but i prefer those crashes to using safari.
All in all atomic seems to be the best browser.

I haven't seen a pattern yet. This happens in Safari, iCab Mobile, and a third browser i can't remember the name of.

Sometimes my apps also close unexspectedly, but not as often as my browsers. So I am thinking that there's a memory problem.
