From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could probably rig something up to periodically check RAM usage and if it's dangerously high, send a system notification - or make an xmessage popup - to tell you to restart Brave ASAP. That is, before the death loop begins in the first place.
You might also want to install an extension that unloads tabs that haven't been accessed in a while, especially if you're a tab hoarder.
I don't use Brave, so I'm making assumptions that such an extension exists and that Brave can be restarted without losing all tabs, etc.
