Huh, watching this in current year, the “crashed tabs won’t crash your browser” one feels like an oddly technical detail to include in a commercial. I guess I’m just so used to it now that it’s hard for me to imagine that web browsers weren’t always as reliable as they are now.
Also, look, I appreciate your comment, but could you please at least remove the ?si= tracking nonsense from your youtube links?
I’d also like to add, to whomever it may concern, that you can find a userscript to automatically convert youtube links into invidious links, among other things, here.
There’s a couple others made by the same guy you may be interested in, like a basic link tracker remover
Completely ignoring Chrome’s success is off the back of it being advertised on the world’s most popular website since it’s release, then yeah.
And it being installed with unrelated software as crapware, and Google adopting Microsoft’s “Youtube isn’t done until Firefox doesn’t run”…
and they advertised it on tv pretty heavily, too.
I love Opera’s response to some of the idiotic speed test ads: https://youtu.be/zaT7thTxyq8
This was before Opera dropped their own engine and became just another Chrome skin unfortunately.
For those who missed the original Chrome ads, here they are: https://youtu.be/nCgQDjiotG0
I really miss the old Opera. Dropped it immediately when they went with Chrome.

Why not both meme
Wait, what?
They had some iconic ads back in the day. Some examples:

Edit: cleaned up the links

People forget but when chrome first came out it was extremely ahead of the competition.

Thanks for sharing!
Their chrome and play store ads will forever be seared in my brain.
