Will give it up eventually, Firefox 4 sounds like it'll whoop everythings ass though, might hold out for that.

I never have it crash. Thats with 50+ tabs open, 15 extensions and another 10 or so userscripts running.

The download sites like rapidshare etc seem to make mine crash when i click a download to start, amoung other things. It also takes an age to start up and I have fuck all extensions running. Strange.

You should use flashgot to send your dls straight to a dl manager. the built in dl managers in every browser is a heap of shite

chrome seems to run like a charm, only crashed occasionally. its just real light weigh and deadly fast. the amount of tabs Ive set to open every time it runs opens is mental. Used to be a firefox head since it first popped on the scene but im converted for the moment.

wel at least your not running IE

its pretty solid in chrome, you wouldnt even know it was downloading half the time. and all the links sit at the bottom of the page to remind you you just robbed something fromthe internet

Few people on it in work but I'm happy with XP. There aren't any features in 7 which will significantly improve my life so fuck it

Sluggish compared to Chrome but still fairly awesome. Hop on a low powered laptop/netbook and use full fat Facebook and it's a jerky mess whereas Chrome is smooth as Mike Jones, it needs a serious debloat.
