Last time I checked, the tab keeps loading, freezes, and the process that's assigned to rendering the tab gets killed when it eats too much RAM. Might cause a "this tab is slowing down your browser" popup or general browser slowness, but nothing too catastrophic.
How bad the tab process dying is, depends per browser. If your browser does site isolation well, it'll only crash that one website and you'll barely notice. If that process is shared between other tabs, you might lose state there. Chrome should be fine, Firefox might not be depending on your settings and how many tabs you have open, with Safari it kind of depends on how the tabs were opened and how the browser is configured. Safari doesn't support zstd though, so brotli bombs are the best you can do with that.
