Bad product placement

Too much, too early for Chrome
As of today, Google has started heavily promoting it’s Chrome browser on YouTube with the message: “Try YouTube in a new web browser! Download Google Chrome“. So far so good. YouTube it’s a Google property and it’s their duty to increase their market share by all means possible. The problem is that YouTube usage under Chrome is just another reason I stopped using Chrome. Aparently there is an issue between Chrome and the Flash Player (no matter what version) and this keeps crashing it.
If I would be an user that would download Chrome becuase of this ad, I would uninstall it after viewing 2 videos and never look bad again.
So, this is just bad, bad PR, too much too early
