Description
If you open too many tabs in Mobile Safari - 500, I think - opening one more will pop up a dialog box, something like: Cancel new tab Close all tabs
If you misclick, you lose all the tabs. You can recover around 200 of those by reopening last closed tab, one at a time.
If you want to wipe your iPad to factory settings, there are multiple warnings. It would be nice to have something similar for Safari having too many tabs, rather than having "never mind" and "wipe everything" one button apart.
