At first, the large Google Chrome advertising campaign on the Underground bothered by because of inconsistent period use: "A new, fast browser. Made for everyone" I know, the second "sentence" is a tag line, the phrases pivoting around that central period. But that lack of a second period annoyed me at first.
Now I just ridicule them whenever I encounter them for the modest number of tabs they boast of using. 12. 14. 21. If I've made it down to a mere 21 tabs, then I have almost nothing open anymore. (I know, I have a tab problem, but they're so very useful for retaining announcement and pages for followup in a place where I won't forget and lose them.)
They're advertising at "normal" browser use, presumably, but if PR campaign for a web browser really wanted to capture my attention with an ad campaign, it would boast of the ease with which it handles hundreds of tabs.

Only if freezing up with anything Flash (or sometimes, just anything flash) doesn't count as crashing.
Freezing up is mercifully rare these days.
Occasionally I do have a crash/freeze, but now it recovers my tabs and re-opens them, even that's not resetting the situation. I guess it's a good job it's not 64-bit, or I'd be using even more RAM with it.
