- pmjordan 16y agoI'm not sure, but Woobius might be UK-centric, and Google have been heavily pushing Chrome in TV advertising there.
- cryptoz 16y agoWow, Google runs ads on Television? I consume all of my video media from the Internet these days so I guess I just didn't know, but that's surprising to me. Do they run the same type of promotional videos that you find on YouTube about Chrome, or are they totally different adverts?
- pmjordan 16y agoYou make a good point, I consume all my television via streaming services, too. It's possible that the adverts are different for that compared to broadcast TV. A cursory web search for Chrome TV ads does appear to confirm they're broadcasting them though.

- swombat 16y agoYep, we are fairly UK-centric. I should have mentioned that.
