Two suggestions that should address all your points: 1) install zram-config package, it will give you more virtual memory, creating a compressed swap area in RAM; 2) since Ubuntu 20.10/groovy you can install nohang package, it should detect low memory situation and close the program or browser tab using too much memory. I also packaged a newer nohang version for Ubuntu 20.04/focal and 20.10/groovy in my PPA (consider my PPA as experimental).
