I haven't tried Opera in quite a while, but in my experience Chrome and Firefox both have their own odious personal habits.
For example, in Chrome, it automatically starts googling and searching your browsing history from the first letter you type in the address bar. Doing so causes it to freeze up for as much as a minute -- on the FIRST LETTER. Google's response to pleas for the ability to disable this feature is that they consider it an integral function of the browser.
Firefox, on the other claw, runs all of its tabs in a single process, so if any of them needs processing time - say, to load a video, or a particularly clunky bit of flash or javascript - it freezes up the whole system.
And, of course, the more tabs you have open, the worse both of these misbehaviors become.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
