No, I'm sorry, the browser should never hang the OS. That's just wrong.
So yes, a lot of it does have to do with sloppy web page coders. But a lot of that code is done by WYSIWYHYG (What you see is what you hope you get) editors. Very few people that I know of write clean HTML code anymore. All of my web pages (All two, I think) were written with a text editor only. I am fully aware that the maintenance of large web sites is probably done better with something other than a text editor, though.
I don't enable a lot of plugins -- Flash isn't even installed on my machine. Since I am currently stuck on a Windows box, I use Opera, and disable the animated gifs. It's so nice not to have flashing banners! I'll be even happier when I get my iMac and I can use something like OmniWeb and block banners altogether...
But I digress. I'd love to say that if you can't write HTML, you shouldn't have a web page. But that argument is pretty weak. I mean, when does the extrapolation of that stop? You can't program in C/C++, so you shouldn't have an operating system. You can't program in binary, so no device drivers for you!
We just need to get some programmers to write HTML-editors that produce clean, W3 compliant code. And when pigs fly, we can make all HTML-editors produce clean code...
