> If so, does Safari not have limits applied that cause it to be killed for running into OOM?

It does. The memory allocation that causes the crash doesn't come from Safari, though: it's a memory allocation in the kernel (likely somewhere graphics related), and that counts towards XNU's memory consumption and not Safari's.
