I believe with the constant flaws being found in flash currently, Adobe are probably having trouble keeping it up to date, and probably do the majority of testing by watching youtube in their lunch break.

Fixed that for you TB. ;D

Been using chrome for years now, love it.

Fast and very stable for me, if something does go awry you can just close the tab in question rather than the browser.

I regularly have 20+ tabs open a day.

My current IE (I'm on my home desktop) currently has several tabs open, probably near 2 dozen, and will be as happy as a kitten all day.

Now the PC in the office that is connected to the ADSL line we have (instead of the main company network) runs the same OS, same browser, same just about everything (except much older hardware), that IE will guarantee to crash all tabs if left on a web page for more than 2 hours. Weird.

Sounds like it's eating up RAM whilst caching over time.  Probably has less RAM than the other system and then crashes.

I used to have that problem with FF, but then I do often have multiple programs open sometimes with a game whilst the browser has 20+ tabs.  I recently upgraded from 2GB of RAM to 4GB and it helped a lot.

I have been using Chrome for about 2 weeks now and I really like it and have had zero problems, I like how easy it is to find and add extensions such as adblock and translator, as opposed to hunting the net for 3rd party addons for IE, big thumbs up for Chrome from me  :y
