Do browser objects have a memory limit?

Post by Dav »

I use my simple web page browser often to browse websites. I really enjoy being able to make useful apps in sb like those! Lately my browser has been crashing sB (only sometimes) when loading pages, usually on web pages with heavy graphics. The same pages load without crashing in safari. I was wondering if it was due to a memory limit of some kind? If not, what do you think could be the cause of a browser crash? Thanks in advance for your reply.

No, there are no distinct memory limits for objects in iOS.
As a suggestion, browser object may be less stable than Safari because it appears to be a browser inside another application (sB), so it takes more memory than just a single browser.

I have had this result too, occasionally. I can usually cure it by going to the open apps page and closing the ones I don't need. It's amazing how fast they accumulate.
The only thing that gets me down is gravity...
