Can't stand safari on iPad - doesn't cache pages

[fuzzybabybunny]

Is there any way to fix this issue? I just filled out a decently long form in one of the safari windows, had to go to another safari window to look up an order number to paste into the form, and when I came back to the form window it automatically reloads on me and, you guessed it, everything I filled out is now blank.

Issue also makes offline viewing impossible if you switching between windows or programs while offline.

Issue even happens when I just have two browser windows open and I'm flipping between the two of them.

Yes it is annoying. I have retrained myself to make to copy any info I might need before leaving a page. You can usually get away with it if you're just flicking over to a small page quickly.

Opera isn't the best on iDevices but it does cache pages.

Why wouldn't you have opened a new "tab" as opposed to just surfing on the same page you were on previously?

I think he is using new tabs. I've had this happen to me. It will cache as long as you have enough memory free, but as soon as your device is low on memory it'll purge the cached pages.

I seem to remember a browser app you could buy that has actual tabs. Don't remember the name of it off the top of my head though.

Wow, that is ridiculous.

Perfect Browser in the app store. Loads pages in the background, has tabbed browsing, and it caches pages......I just bought it for that last reason alone.
