Bad product placement

Too much, too early for Chrome

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
