Actually not that bad after 7th or 8th release.

How is Midori doing with flash nowdays? Last time i checked it had problems.

Our chromium tends to lag with updates on stable (and after fx10 ESR it also needs more work 
than fx as there are no ESR releases for chromium). And when comparing memory footprint it 
ain't any better than fx.
