Yep. Back in 2008 or thereabouts, I threw together http://crashmybrowser.com/ (note that this page will not immediately crash your browser, it's very polite about asking first). I only spent a short amount of time on it and haven't touched it since, but at a quick check, it looks like at least a couple of the tests are still effective.
The site has a note, under "why", along the lines of resource limitations and process separation for tabs being a good idea. 5 years later, it still is.
On the plus side, all of the browsers have changed their UI a lot during those 5 years.
edit: looks like Chrome (or Chromium) has aged more gracefully than Firefox. It handles everything on the page with a minimum amount of fuss. Good. :-)
