I’ve case you are serious, replace chrome with:

  #!/bin/bash
  echo 1000 > /proc/$$/oom_score_adj
  path_to_real_chrome

What's the maintainable way of doing this, that can survive chrome package updates and also handle http URIs opened from other applications?

How do you typically start chrome? I guess you could just change the .desktop file somewhere in $HOME, system updates don't touch that.

Won't that just OOM-shield the shell launching chrome and not the chrome process itself?

I think you want "exec path_to_real_chrome".
