Back during Google I/O, there was much fanfare with the announcement that the Chrome Web Store would feature Angry Birds for free in HD glory for user to waste massive amounts of time upon. It was a great synergistic move between Google and the producers of Angry Birds, and has resulted in a promotion of sorts via a Chrome commercial that plays up the benefits of Google’s own browser.
While it’s unlikely that such a techie-oriented commercial will ever pop up on television, there continues to be strong efforts from Google to play up pop culture references in order to further Chrome’s expansion. Working in tandem with the company’s business efforts, they are certainly spending a lot of time to properly execute a marketing strategy that hits on all sides.
This new commercial comes in the same week that it is expected Chrome will soon surpass Firefox, long thought to be the dominating browser for developers and early adopters. The amount of sheer resources that Google has poured into Chrome and Chrome OS over the past year, along with marketing campaigns that Mozilla cannot match, is causing Chrome’s growth to be further propelled at Firefox and Internet Explorer’s expense.
Does commercial marketing help Chrome’s overall popularity? Do you even think that it is necessary?

Big news from Google I/O. Angry Birds is here, on your Chrome browser, in glorious HD.That’s right. You can download Angry Birds from the Chrome Web Store Now and give those dastardly green pigs what they got coming to them! The Chrome Edition comes complete with exclusive Chrome levels and “Chrome Bombs,” which I presume really smashes those pigs to oblivion at lightning speed.
With such a huge game coming to the neighborhood Chrome browser it really shows how far HTML5 and WebGL has come. The game rendered at 60 FPS which makes for a smooth gaming experience and will be available to play offline. I’ve given the game a try, and it works pretty well indeed.
Plus as soon as Chrome’s new one touch in-app payment system goes live, you will also be able to purchase the Mighty Eagle upgrade and really give those pigs a peace of your mind!
Angry Birds is one of the most popular casual games ever. Having this big name game available really shows Chrome Browser has become a truly viable game developing platform.
Are you playing Angry Birds on Chrome?
