This has not been my experience. Flash seems to crash a lot in
chromium, but it doesn't take it down. I've had Chromium blow out
completely once, and once I've had every single page in it turn to "Sad
Browser." But that was around Chromium 5.
Firefox has been doing better, but it only seems to handle a Flash crash
once or twice: after the first crash, if you reload a page with Flash,
Flash will likely crash AGAIN very quickly and tear down the whole
browser. Firefox also tends to go down if you have too much crap going
on, i.e. if you load a page that runs excessive scripts or brings in too
many GIF images. The whole UI will lag (Firefox 4 too), and often crash
if it comes under too much load doing too many things (race
conditions?). I've never seen Firefox actually free memory by closing a
tab.
Chromium has been a lot faster and a lot more stable for me. I use
Firefox 4 at work and Chromium at home, and I'm constantly restarting
Firefox after it crashes. I switched to Firefox 3 for a time, it's more
stable but still crashes--a lot less than 4, but 2-3 times a week.
Also, when one tab in Chromium is lagged down to the point of complete
and total browser crawl, you can still switch to other tabs and use them
like nothing is happening.
So eh. What's "unstable"?

It is also less stable.

Has anyone yet brought up the potential to ship Chromium default
rather than Firefox? At this point it's more advanced methinks,
with the only likely complaint being that you can't add NoScript
or AdBlock+. Ubuntu doesn't ship these default anyway; if you
want those things, you can get Firefox yourself, as you likely
already know what you're doing.
For the privacy discussion, see SRWare Iron as a potential source
of ideas for changes to back-merge (or options to add).
