I've got a v1 iPad ... Both Chrome and Safari crash before rendering a single pixel!


Same here. Sadly this is happening more and more - e.g. I can no longer read the Guardian online since they "revamped" the site some months ago. Ridiculous really - it's just static content fercrissakes, just serve it already


And this started happening sometime in 2012/2013 ... it was a $500 device and they treat it like I should just trash it and upgrade. Stuck on IO5? Thanks Apple ... I won't be buying any more of your bright, shiny toys (I love your hardware but you treat your customers like we're all fan-bois and your software has been getting worse since the Apple ][e).


Same here... although I've recently noticed some improvement in some Guardian pages actually loading without crashing. But then I also try maximize available RAM by having no tabs, assiduously closing any 'background' apps, disabling Spotlight, etc... so it's likely not representative of typical, reasonable usage.

Quite ridiculous state of affairs, overall.
