Used Safari for 1 hr on iPad and so far so good.

Anyone has crashes or reloads yet?
 
I am getting annoyed by Safari hiding back forward buttons like iPhone.

So far iOS 8 is a small regression compared to iOS 7.1.2 😕
 
Is it just me or is Safari tab refreshing massively improved with iOS8? Tabs seem to refresh much less frequently on my Air.
 
Same here, much less noticable refreshes; hopefully this will help put all those to rest who think its because iPhone/iPad only have 1Gb of RAM.
 
I have been complaining about the RAM. On my iPad Retina Mini using iOS8, Safari tab refreshes are much better. It almost seems like they suspend each page, because there is a slight delay when accessing the page, but it hasn't refreshed in my limited 30 minutes of usage.
 
Mavericks Safari and Yosemite Safari is night and day. Much, much better in Yosemite. I wish they would have fixed the problems in Mavericks. Made for a pain in the butt to use with Safari.
