Actually, the problem is in web sites, not browsers. How about
web sites that don't require 500K Flash downloads for the
introductory commercial *before* you get into the actual site,
or 500K Shockwave games, or MIDI background music, or Java
doing who knows what, or JavaScript monkey business.

My fully-loaded Netscrape crashes once or twice a day... one
way to make it go boom is to scroll a window while another window
attempts to load Java for the first time.
