Most of the time when firefox crashes its Flash Player that's doing it, most of the time it's consuming 99% CPU because each open tab has 4 or 5 flash ads, but occasionally when I've got dozens and dozens of tabs open, it can hesitate quite badly. I can live with that.

I don't really trust opera. Its a closed-source monolith that used to be for-purchase, evolved into an captive-audience ad-supported program, then finally dropped the ads to become what it is today, but there's nothing stopping them from an abrupt about-face when they start playing with revenue models again.
