Tried them all:

1) Chrome : fast and memory efficient, would crash
2) Safari : would crash
3) Firefox : lots of extensions, barely ever crashed

#3 is what I fly with. Make sure you get the following options:

1) Adblock : lets you watch youtube without ads, among other things
2) Tabmix Plus : has handy stuff like “move tab to new window” and “duplicate tab to new window”
3) xmarks : syncs all bookmarks with a remote server, so all the machines you browse on have the same bookmarks. Available for all browsers.

Oh yeah, Tabmix also has a “Session Restore” feature that is way better than the one built into Firefox. Thus, I never lose any work.

Though Chrome is multi-process, and should be more stable overall in theory, I would still lose work.
