indeed on ubuntu 16.04 64bit, when my chrome has 20+ tabs, some new tab could trigger a memory thrashing, that uses up all the memory and eats up a few GB disk, cpu load jumps up to 10x, the computer basically becomes unusable. i would rather a OOM kill the chrome process in this case, it wastes less time on me, a re-open of chrome will keep all the histories anyways. also on embedded system where the RAM is fairly limited, and no hard drive attached, and its storage is measured by MB instead of GB, you simply can not have the swap partition. I want to run the system without swap actually.
