Running Linux Mint 9 "Isadora" (based off of Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid
Lynx"). I've been using Chrome and have experienced very little to no
crashes in Chrome (that weren't my fault XD). Even if there is a
crash, each tab is its own process so you *usually* don't have to
completely close the application; just one tab.
