Examples of companies or projects that ban exceptions

Google, and therefore Chromium

https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html

Mozilla, and therefore Firefox

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/lint/coding-st...

I'm pretty sure WebKit also doesn't use exceptions. It's not listed in their style guide but searching the repo I don't find any instances and the repo history shows turning them off.
