Atomic Browser? (or any other browser with tabs)

I regularly have five or six tabs open with Atomic Web browser, and I cycle through them without issue or delay. I can't ever remember the browser crashing.

 

Same here,.. Atomic is literally the BOMB! It's the best browsing experience with the iPad... and if u ever visit flash sites, "Frash" may help with some of those (i know it lets pixelranger.com (archive list) - they are wick'd - check out Beyond.

I like icab the best.

 

or you can jailbreak and use a vm hack.

 

Atomic.

 

Perfect web browser is the best with more features! Atomic crashes too much.

 

Atomic will also warn you if you start to run low on memory.

 

+1 for icab, I find it much better than atomic, for me atomic crashed too often, not as often as safari, but still too often.

 

Just know that as of now, if you quit the browser you lose all of your loaded pages anyway. Safari is the only one that can run in the background on the iPad currently.

 

In my experience, you'll struggle to maintain a couple or more heavy tabs open in Atomic on a 3G. It quickly runs out of RAM and exits to home.

 

is there another web browser that doesn't load everytime you use that app?...

 

I'm more inclined to icab.

 

I use Atomic, Safari, and Life browser

I find Safari loads quicker out of the three, but it's only good for viewing single pages at a time. ie not good if you want to reference a few different pages quickly, and it annoyingly doens't allow you to open a page in the background

Atomic browser is good, but it constantly runs out of memory. If you only open a couple of tabs it's fine, but any more than that and it just sucks

Life browser has an interesting way of opening tabs, and I like it a lot. I think it suffers from the same low memory issues as Atomic browser, but doesn't give you any warnings like Atomic does. It's a good little browser though, a bit slow to load pages, but has the advantage of letting you open up multiple pages with tabs being opened and associated with those pages. Hard to explain, go check it out on google

I've not used iCab, but a friend raves about it

 

There's just not much you can do. Apple cut corners on the memory to hit their price point. I know this issue very, very well as River of News does a lot with web views. The iPad can fit 4-6 medium to large web pages in memory. The memory usage depends primarily on the number of images and videos. There is no way around this as an app developer. When an app uses too much memory it is killed by the OS.

Apple chose to be conservative with Safari in how many tabs it keeps open. Third party browsers can squeeze a little more by playing with fire and doing things Apple would never do like surface to the user a message that memory is low. Apple also does caching in Safari that isn't available to independent developers.

This is my torture test for browsers on iOS.
