I have been living with this for for a little over an year now. But each one of the browsers on my Mac have problems.

I have an 2010 Macbook 13 inch, running Lion with everything up to date.

Oprera: This browser crashes a ton of times. Had problems scrolling the pages, gave up and deleted it off my Mac.

Opera Beta: scrolling isn't a problem but it still crashes for random reasons.

Safari: Crashes sometimes its main problem is that it won't play Youtube videos right. It will have sound but no video. It also has a small problem rendering images.

Chrome: has a horrible problem trying to display images, occasionally crashes. And sometimes doesn't render pages right.

FireFox: This has been the best of the pack so far, even though it isn't as fast as Chrome. It generally renders page right every time. But It takes up too much research sometimes and i got 4 Gigs of RAM. When it takes up all the researches it starts to hang up and sometimes crashes.

It might be my part. I generally leave my computer on for days. I usually just shut the lid when i leave for work and sometimes fall asleep with the laptop open, and do this for weeks at a time. I sometimes have multiple tabs and multiple browsers open, for long periods of time.

And it seems like when i am on other Wi-Fi networks it seems to operate better. But that might also be because I am traveling and not using the laptop as much and shutting it down when I am done.

Also use to leave blue tooth on all the time even with nothing hooked into it. Till just recently when I learn that it is on the same frequency as the WI-Fi and can cause problems with the speed.

So what do you guys think i should look to resolve this issue?
