Browser != OS.

_even_ Chrome gets confused from time to time.

I don't think it's too much to ask to just "reboot" your browser.

But it's also not too much to ask to hope for the browser to not be

*too* dramatically memory leaky.

And It sure seems like the browsers have gotten memory leaky, even
without resorting to Flash and Java. It looks to me like Javascript, which

is pretty well mandatory these days what with all the "web applications"

using AJAX and such, can chew great gobs of memory without hardly
trying.

When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the
question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
