For marketing a language? No, unless you ruthlessly capitalize on every small change.

For iterating on large changes to a stable secure web browser used by many millions? It seems to have worked well for them so far.

The problem is that if Rust doesn't establish itself in the broader market then the effort of developing it and adding to the browser is pretty questionable. You generally don't want code in a language nobody else uses.

I hope rust will make it but it's very hard to establish a language long-term.
