At some point, the idea that a tool is fine, it's just that everyone is using it wrong starts to become a reason to look for alternatives to the tool. Chromium is a large cpp project, with lots of resources behind it, but people still fail to write safe code for it. There are small bore efforts that can be done to tangibly improve things, but in the end it seems like the real solution is to start writing components in a language that offers better memory safety and maintains high performance. That is a huge, risky effort as well, of course.
