    Hello TataruTaru​ and AceNet​! 👋

    Thank you for following up. The team and I can reproduce this issue as well and it seems to affect other extensions, not just 1Password: 

    Since the issue occurs with other extensions as well, this appears to be a bug in iPadOS itself. I recommend reporting the issue to Apple from your end so that they're aware that you're affected by the issue. Our team is tracking the issue on our end as well. 

    To workaround the issue, as mentioned earlier in this thread, you can switch from Compact Tab Bar mode to Separate Tab Bar mode:

    1. Open iOS Settings > Apps > Safari.
    2. Set Safari to Separate Tab Bar mode.

I forgot I sent my reply through icloud, so I missed the messages.

I can confirm the change to seperate tabs, stops safari crashing, I can even go back to compact tabs, until I completely close Safari. It crashes on the compact tabs again, until I do the fix again.

So it seems the issue is tied to compact tabs.

I also verify that the Safari app crashing is related to Settings > Safari > compact tab. Change compact tabs to separate tabs to mitigate the issue until the DEV team can resolve.
