That's forgetting that browsers have become application delivery
platforms - Flash, Java and Javascript are allowing such complex
applications to be run inside the browser that it's a small miracle
they don't crash more often.

And crash (or become unresponsive, etc.) they all do, from Explorer to
Opera via Firefox to Safari and Chrome.

I'm no fan of the browser as the ultimate smart terminal, but there's
little one can do to fight the trend.
