Comment on Ask HN: Why don't we optimize for stability?

Comments

I kill Opera.exe more often than not. It takes only a few hours for it to reach 600 or 700 meg of ram and get stroppy, then it wants a fricking minute plus to actually close.

It's quite annoying.

The feature set in Opera is killer, and I had some loyalty because I feel like they've been behind some of the major advances in browser usability (tabs!), and haven't been given much credit.

But I eventually gave up. Google Chrome doesn't even have bloody mouse gestures working on linux, but it's fast and stable, and has high correctness.
