I am not a fan of the Google dialect of C++. That said, there is no dialect of C++ that would solve the issues they are running into and will continue running into if they use C++. Every major user of C++ regardless of organization or style guidelines has the exact same concerns with the language.

I never get memory usage errors in my C++ code. Many others, likewise.
It is probably true that Google staff, with their existing education and background, cannot achieve this, but other organizations do.
There is of course no possibility of Google recoding all of Chromium in modern C++ or Rust, so they will live with the bugs they have already coded. A new browser, such as Ladybird, could avoid Google's failings.
