That's what I'd have thought if it were any other browser, but my |

experience with chromium is that it's actually quite unstable. |

Maybe before throwing out the baby with the bathwater he should do some |

unlike that described due to flash, but if flash is the culprit it will |
| 46 |
show up using firefox or konqueror or whatever. |
