Why is There a Dinosaur in Google Chrome?
The dinosaur in question is actually based on the lead character from an HTML5 game called “Runner.” The game was created by Google for its Chrome web browser and can be played offline. When Google added the “No internet connection” message to Chrome, they also wanted to include something that would keep people entertained while their connection was down. That’s where the Dino game comes in!
Interestingly, the Chrome Dino games are actually quite difficult. According to Google, the aim of the game is to “to keep the Dinosaur running as long as possible by avoiding cacti that randomly generate in his path.” If you ever find yourself with some time to kill and a spotty internet connection, why not give it a try?
Conclusion:
So there you have it! The next time you see the giant t-rex in your Google Chrome browser, you’ll know that there’s a pretty interesting story behind it. Who would have thought that such a simple concept could be so entertaining?
