I would suspect a majority of the world does not keep dozens of tabs open, on an computer that never shuts down. You have to remember which forum you're on here. Any software issue, usually rears its head relatively quickly from one of our machines around here.

That's the use case I'm most familiar with. I've done this on many different machines for many years and not had anything like a crash once a day. I stand by my belief that your negative experiences are likely caused by a rare collision of variables and not representative of the typical experience among similar use cases. As I said in my post, it's totally legitimate that such an atypical experience may be caused by real bugs, but it's still an unfair generalization to say that Chrome and Firefox crash daily.
