Describe the issue you encountered:
Some pages appear to crash the browser tab process. Some do this immediately, others do it after some time. For instance, I repro this on GitHub.com, but only after switching back to Brave after some time.

Expected behavior:
Tab processes should not crash for common/popular sites.

Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?): Windows 10

Brave Version (revision SHA): 0.13.0 Preview 8

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Navigate to Clicking on Pocket widget doesn't launch the pocket login page, Browser restart opens pocket login (intermittent issue)  #6586 (comment)
  2. Switch to another application for 10 minutes
  3. Switch back to Brave and attempt to scroll up/down for a few seconds

Screenshot if needed:

Any related issues: #6557

Test plan

  1. open two tabs of Clicking on Pocket widget doesn't launch the pocket login page, Browser restart opens pocket login (intermittent issue)  #6586 (comment)
  2. keep switching tabs and make scrolling repeatedly

This is huge amount of memory leak on renderer on all platforms and it exceeds the limit so sandbox kill the process with SBOX_FATAL_MEMORY_EXCEEDED (7012)
