Firefox, Chrome - multithreaded: each tab is a separate process.
Opera - not sure... Safari - definitely not.
Safari has just embarrassed itself. It didn't crash, but became unusable after some page opened with flash in it. I had some issues with Opera on Ubuntu where the flash plugin would use more than 50% CPU if the tab displaying the page was left open. This was pretty similar, but the OS UI became very sluggish and unresponsive. Some message came up much later saying something about flash crashing.
Chrome is my favourite so far, but it just can't get the downloads right. I get incomplete downloads often and the browser doesn't even tell me about it. Highly annoying.
Safari doesn't bother remembering open tabs and I'm not sure if those favourite sites work properly - is seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to that. Oh, and no native jpeg streaming support like in Mozilla.
I like Opera, especially since it has the mail client built in. The configuration is a bit odd, but you can get it for every single OS which is a huge bonus. Pity on Mac the mail composer gets the key mappings wrong. Home and End keys move from the beginning to the end of the document, rather than the line which is incredibly irritating to say the least. Couldn't be bothered with trying to figure out how to remap the keys.
There's no Safari for Linux which is a huge disadvantage for this browser so I'm just hoping that Chrome will only get better...
