Yup. Me too. I'm tired of Chrome's flakiness and process per tab as well as process per plugin. Back to FireFox as default browser.

I'm confused as to why it matters if there's a different process for each plugin/tab. Care to elaborate? Also, what flakiness have you experienced?

Process-per-tab is supposed to cut down on single tabs taking down the whole browser, but in Chrome's case it just means that Flash will crash daily requiring you to reboot/reload tabs you didn't even know were running Flash. That is, process-per-tab falls down a bit when the thing that crashes is running in multiple tabs anyway.
