iPad mini Safari tabs reloading

[cynics]

Aka youre holding it wrong? Hahaahahha.



Tab reloading is only a problem when you've entered some text in a web form or are on a slow internet connection.

That's not it's ONLY problem.

When I had my Air I used it for research. In very long articles and documents I would need to cross reference things. Switching tabs and I'd lose my place. Very annoying when reading something that's 100 pages trying to find exactly where you left off every couple minutes.

I returned it after fighting through that one day and then safari completely crashed. I was already at a boiling point, thankfully I calmly reboxed it and returned it. Throwing it across the room briefly crossed my mind. Lol

It amazes me that my 3+ year old Motorola Xoom can do this effortlessly. 20+ tabs with FLASH (remember that?) enabled.

This isn't like playing stolen emulated video games or using torrents downloading illegal movies like Android can do pretty easily and therefore better. This is web browsing, the iPad Air should blow everything else out of the water with ease.

What makes everyone think the iPad air 2 will fix it. They haven't fixed yet. Doubt it will be fixed.

You are right because I do not think it's a hardware issue at all.

Sadly, Atomic hasn't been updated since late 2012, but there is some kind of limited "lite" version which can be tried for free.

This is actually the reason why Atomic works so great: it uses the old web and JavaScript engine which consumes less RAM - or whatever it is that causes those reloads.

(I assume the web engine is something that can be statically linked inside an application and has been in this case.)

For me the poor Safari experience is quickly becoming a reason to start looking elsewhere. The reports on 7.1 are mixed, some say that it fixes tab reload issue and some say that that it doesn't. I wish someone with the latest beta could share their experiences, with details i.e. how many tabs and with exact URLs so it would be easy to compare.

If 7.1 isn't any better and if Google releases a non-Samsung Nexus with 8-9" good display in the coming months, then it might be time to leave iPad behind. Shame, since this is otherwise a fine device.

I got rid of my iPad a long time a go and replace it with a dell venue 8 pro running full window 8.1 and office and 8" is this right it has hit the sweet spot
