Re:Clang Is Now Used to Build Chrome for Windows by DannyBee on Tuesday March 06, 2018 @11:54AM (#16530022)
1. Not abi compatible

2. Not performant (Relative to other solutions)

3. Would be the odd man out. Literally all other development was on clang/llvm at this point.

Supporting mingw would have meant duplicating all performance/etc work for GCC.

4. Chrome also wanted other benefits that clang/LLVM would bring them (easy ability to build various forms of refactoring and analysis tooling, etc)
