Apple's Safari browser is crashing worldwide

http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/27/technology/iphone-safari-crash-apple/

I wouldn't have noticed this story if Safari on my iPad hadn't gone wonky after the last OS update. It was acting wobbly for a bit -- almost every AW page jammed somewhere on loading and I would have to stop the page and reload one to three more times before it fully loaded -- and two evenings ago it just stopped accessing the internet at all.

If I turn off Wi-Fi I can access the internet from my iPad, but only very slowly and at the most expensive rates.

My husband's iPad (of a later generation) now crashes Safari every time he tries to open a new tab.

Thank you. That does seem to have fixed it this time (Not the AW pages jamming on loading, but the not-being-able-to-use-the-internet-at-all thing).

(I had tried emptying out my cache and cookies several times over the last day and a half, but this is the first time it helped.)

Well bugger, it's doing the thing on my ipad again. Clearing the cache and history hasn't helped yet.

ETA:

An hour and a half later, still clearing the cache and history, still got nuffin' except when I turn off Wi-Fi.

I notice it seems to have happened at about the same time as it did last Monday evening, my time, which seems to be just around midnight, Greenwich Time.

At this point it might just be an idiosyncrasy of my iPad.
