I've been using Chromium for a few weeks now.  I often have around 20 tabs 
open, and it seems totally stable.  Unlike other browsers that promise to save 
my tabs, but forget them from time to time, it's not let me down yet.  A 
couple of times it failed to automatically restore, but then asked if I wanted 
it to try to restore.  It then succeeded.  I think the problem there is that 
one of the servers I work with is rather slow at responding sometimes, so that 
it would say it had a problem with one tab and asked whether it should retry 
or skip it.  Almost always it managed to load by the time I'd hit Retry with 
the mouse.

It feels a little different from the average browser, but I like it.
