don't you hate it when you're playing on iPad website and then the google chrome app stops and shows the "oh snap!" page forcing you to waste precious seconds to reload the page

I play a lot on ipad, but as I said, I play using app whenever I do it on ipad, as there's way less lag and no inturrputions
