Most memory bugs in Chromium are in V8, either entirely in the JIT or at the boundary with C++. Rust wouldn't help here because the borrow checker can't see through these boundaries, and it's precisely this opacity where the developers also lose track of things.

Which isn't to say Rust wouldn't have caught many of the other memory safety issues, but 75% is horribly misleading.
