Hello there, Through this https://security.googleblog.com/2023/01/supporting-use-of-rust-in-chromium.html, we noticed that Chromium M115+ ships with a bundled binary Rust compiler now, this may be of interest for distribution who want to assert control over the Chromium toolchain. We replaced it in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/243319 in NixOS. M115 do not ship with production Rust code, so we do not know yet if our approach is valid. Kind regards, -- Ryan Lahfa, NixOS developer
