Is it possible to make a web browser that does not crash?

Safari, Firefox, and Camino have all crashed on me previously. This usually happens when I have a lot of sites open at one time or I open a site that takes a long time to load. I am wondering if anyone knows of a browser that refuses to crash.

Some browsers I wonder about that I have not used, because I have a Mac include Google Chrome, Lunascape, Opera, and Space Time.

I think it would be difficult to make a web browser which won't crash, because as days goes by new technologies will come will have vulnerability & security holes which lead the browser to crash.
But, I suggest everyone for using OPERA which is the best available option at this moment.
Check out the latest Opera 10 Alpha release which really cool.

Uh, if crashing is the problem, you probably shouldn't be suggesting an ALPHA version of a browser.

Use Opera 9.63 for now, it's the latest stable version.

I've been constantly switching between browsers and just like you I pretty much tried them all. As far as i can tell, there is no browser that occasionally would not hang or crash. However, you can at least improve stability and speed of your browser by keeping the number of 3rd. party installed extensions and plugins to minimum.

I think it would be extraordinarily difficult to make a web browser that supported all the functionality that is expected of modern web browsers (CSS, Javascript, Flash, concurrency, etc.) that would not be vulnerable to some code path that would cause it to crash. If non-crashability were the overarching goal, it might be possible to make a browser with a limited feature set that would be practically impossible to crash, but I suspect few users would find the usability compromises acceptable.
