So they have a good ad department…but it doesn’t mean the browser’s easier to use than other browsers.
Kind of boring. I could not watch all of it. In my own opinion it would not get a average person to switch to Google Chrome.
The add kept hanging causing long waits..
Unimpressive..
This is just the kind of ad to appeal to women, children, and the infirm.
No useful information, I would like to know why I should use Chrome. I do use it myself, but this ad does nothing to inform the initiated.
This is the most creative form of advertising that I have seen in years.
No explosions, no loud noises, nice music, pleasant graphics.
As far as advertising goes, I like it.
Mainstream advertising rarely gives real reasons or technical descriptions of products, that kind of stuff bores most people.
Far as I’m concerned they don’t need no advertising, been using Chromium in Ubuntu for some time now and it Rocks!
That’s a 1:35 I’ll never get back in my life!
Pretty cool ! I like it. Chrome runs pretty fast on my Netbook.
For heavy duty use and plugins, Firefox can’t be beat although it needs a speed upgrade.
Chrome has been my browser since Firefox crashed after I upgraded to the newest. I run a newer system, and Chrome rocks. Fast, simple, stable. The only thing I don’t like….it won’t let PayPal integrate into eBay. I have to go to Firefox to pay completed eBay auctions. I like it’s stability, simplicity, and that ad.
Note the “incognito” mode. The website to be hidden from everyone is a jewelry store…RIIIGHT.
Annoying. I like fine art, but this video was “artsy fartsy”.
Chrome is still Google spyware. Google won’t give up until they’ve got a permanent foothold in your life.
funny, Opera has most of these features, and had them for years already..
i wonder why i should change?
too much using of Google and its products is bad health for the internets.
Cool ad. Nice retro style. Wasted on a browser.
Once I have used Google Chrome. I never went back to Firefox which is dying under the weight of plugins and skins. Google Chrome is what a net browser should have been in the first place. Small, clean interface and no artsy and fartsy plugins…
Is it over yet? geez, i was ready for Steve Zissou to swim across the screen hanging onto a rope swing.
Gte a decent Adblock on there and I will use it.
well they won’t be playing it in england for it’s false advertising XD
good browser, won’t be for long as soon as all these plugins roll out and it’ll be just another firehog. one thing google and ms have in common, they sure can’t piece of software that actually works on mac.
