I've never managed to get one of my own Fedora machines to the point of OOMing, and, when I have seen others do it, it's a problem that would have been solved by having more swap space.
I am a tab hoarder so I used to wedge the browser due to memory leaks (some live ad pages would blow up into gigabytes of RAM). I think recent browser versions are more resistant to that---I haven't locked up in a while, although it may be because I also tend to have a Task Manager open, sorted by Memory size, and I kill pages that keep growing.
More swap doesn't necessarily solve this problem: remember that 1GB/min is a ballpark HD speed so if you have 10GB swap that your system is actually trying to use, you will just sit there for 10 minutes.
