I dunno, I am not too quick to jump on blaming the browser as "memory leaky". I am willing to bet some sites are not built with your memory in mind. Consider sites that just load and load javascript objects ad nauseum. Should the browser say : "ok that's enough web site, no more java script objects for you" ? and if it's a reasonable X for a single site ... and you have 300 sites open .. is 300X ok for your computer?
I start to doubt that it even has to do with the "headline" site. Ad-supported sites will be obliged to serve up whatever their advertisers decide to serve. I can imagine a lot of room for badly-designed javascript, videos and Ajax there. Mel.
