Crashpad doesn't depend on Chromium, in fact it uses mini_chromium (a mostly copy pasta of base) to avoid having that large dep:

What's the issue you're having with Crashpad? Indeed the breakpad project is a mess by modern standards.

To be honest, I haven't looked into Crashpad that much because (from a quick glance) it seems like it requires a secondary process for crash handling, whereas with Breakpad you can do it in the same process. That, and the chromium thing is what turned me away from it. I guess I should probably look into it a bit more, especially the size of mini_chromium to see if it's reasonable for my needs before I go forking Breakpad.
