I disagree entirely. Parsers are an excellent plays to start using Rust - this would allow them to move that code back in-process, improving performance, without compromising on security.
It's exactly the sort of thing this post is talking about. I'm not advocating for a wholesale rewrite, that would be ridiculous - but there's very obviously certain areas of attack surface that are harder to sandbox and are great candidates.
Besides, Firefox is even older than Chrome, and at least as complex, and they began the process of replacing core attack surface. Google could put 10x the devs on such a thing.
