July 15th, 2007 Firefox has the annoying habit of popping up an error message after 5 seconds (10 seconds for Firefox 2.x) when running Javascript code.

April 16th, 2006 The most annoying thing about web these days is the prevalence of Macromedia Flash based eye candies and advertisement. Not only they are an irritating visual distraction (in most cases), they also consume way too much CPU.
