It's true that washingtonpost.com has a hell of a lot going on in the background (the newest verion of the NoScript Firefox extension on my PC even warns me about cross-scripting now). 90% of the time it eventually crashes my 770's opera browser. Man, I hate that site.

I've encountered a couple of websites (during searches) which caused my browser to exit almost immediately on load.

I figure that they must have some type of exploit (buffer overflow?) testing on them which causes this behavior so I just go somewhere else.

It's very rare (i.e. I've never seen it) to have websites actively trying to exploit your machine. If there's a URL which repeatedly and reproducibly crashes the browser, please raise it on http://bugs.maemo.org/ - otherwise there's no guarantee it'll be fixed.

Never assume the developers see the same bugs as you.
