A few weeks back Google Chrome came up with the video of a different kind to showcase their browser speed, the video was not only different in complete Google style, but also innovative. They used a high speed camera to film various sequences against the speed of the browser. This was for the launch of the Chrome version 5.0. Here, Google has tested the speed of its Chrome browser against lightning, sound and a potato cannon, all in 2700fps slow motion. Just watch it.

The video and the making of the video is here below. The innovative nature of the video made me think initially that it was not really a serious video but might have been a sort of a spoof, but then when looked closely it did actually highlight the speed of the browser at hand. Now, Opera has joined in in making a similar video.

Before we get onto the Opera video here are the videos showing the Making of the Google Chrome video, (if you are inquisitive to find out how they did it).

Well not only did Opera attempt making a similar video, they made a parody. They have made complete fun of the Google Chrome speed tests with this video. I hope it was all in good humor, but knowing how browser wars have shaped in the past, I would not think so.

My readers will know that I am a big fan of all things Google, so for the record let me get this straight, I love the Chrome. It is fast, efficient and safe as far as I am concerned. It helps me have a great online presence without having to worry about the browser but the content. And that is what a browser should be, a portal only. Not to attract too much attention to itself, but rather the subject that is being rendered. Still the Opera Browser test video was funny !
