Safari - Crazy fast in iOS 6!

[Risco]

Anyone noticed this? It loads pages faster than ever before, it really is noticeable.

I really noticed this on my iPad. Big improvement. Very happy with the performance.

I just installed iOS 6 beta 3 on my iPad 3 and although I haven't really played with it much, I don't see much change.

I installed iOS 6 on my iPhone and iPad today and I was shocked by the speed increase!! I thought I might be imagining it because I hadn't read about t but it is defiantly faster!! Prob the best improvement in iOS 6....

That's great to hear. But can you open more than 8 pages?

iPhone 4 - No change in performance. Chrome seems on par.

On my iPad 3 it seems to be a little slower and I get a lot of crashes! Did you guys restored from backup or did a clean installation?

Best to do a clean install then restore from back up or iCloud.

It definitely feels snappier.

I definitely agree that Safari is quicker on iOS 6.

Another change I have seen, which speeds up the navigation process, is that when you open up a new page / tab, it now opens right next to the page you are currently viewing rather than at the end of the stack.

So, if you are viewing page 2 of 5, for example, the new page will open in slot 3 moving the others along by one.

Hope that makes sense, because I feel like I'm doing a very bad job of explaining what should be a simple concept.

Much faster. I wish the tabs were bigger on the iPad though. Hard to hit the X button at times.

 

[TomAndrews]

Ahhh I see what you did there OP!

Safari just keeps getting quicker and quicker...

 

[Gage]

I've had a couple of times where Safari would suddenly be unresponsive and I had to close it since going to the GM of ios 6.

What?

You waited until the software went final to install some old beta???

 

[traveller09]

I don't notice any speed difference, about the same.

Anyone run some Sunspider, browsermark, or Peacekeeper?
