This morning to celebrate Chrome’s fourth birthday Google has created Time machine which shows you history of Chrome since 2008, Google also said in their blog post that you can get surprise birthday gift from Chrome team if you find the hidden clue and type the secret code, have you found the hidden clue and code? guess what gift Google is giving to you? it’s a Chrome sticker to paste on your laptop, here is how to get it.
Before telling you the page where you can get the sticker let me tell you how to find the clue,
1. Visit Chrome Time machine page, use forward arrow on keyboard to go to December 2008 where title on tab shows you 06-28-2012 om46s
2. Now visit June 2012 and play Chrome story video and pause it after 26s
3. Visit http://goo.gl/SfkJp link in your browser, fill your address to get Chrome laptop sticker, the page says “supplies are limited and unfortunately Google cannot guarantee that everyone who completes the form will receive a sticker. Google may use the information you provide for the sole purpose of sending you an awesome Google Chrome sticker, and will not share this information with third parties or use it in conjunction with any other products or services”
There are chances that people in U.S to get these easily. Let me tell you don’t need to follow steps 1 to 3, URL mentioned in 3rd step might be unique URL for all.
We’ve not found this, thanks to Francois Beaufort for discovery.
Update: The post has been updated with exact secret code appeared timing, thanks to Jack.
You said: “1. Visit Chrome Time machine page, use forward arrow on keyboard to go to December 2012 where title on tab shows you 06-28-2012 om46s”
How can one go to December 2012 in September 2012?
is this a typo?
Yes its a typo, corrected to 2008.
this is very cool. thanks
It says “Well done, eagle eye.” Did you give any nick name “eagle eye”, or did it say so to say “well, you’ve a sharp eye”?
Google called the secret code finder as eagle eye, since most people don’t find it we may not deserve the credit for that name.
Hi could you tell me how you figured out this short link of goo.gl/SfkJp?
Haven’t you read the post?
This isn’t the actual secret. This is another one that had been in the video for months previously (when it was originally posted). That link isn’t at 46 seconds, but around 25 seconds instead. I suggest you get your facts right first. ;)
Btw, people have began to suss out the ACTUAL easter egg. A clever Google search will reveal the answer.
Like others I too eager to know the gift to share that on my blog and we can’t see the timing unless we visit the video on YouTube, that’s why not cared about link appeared timing, you’re also wrong! link appeared between 27 and 28 seconds. Thanks for letting us know anyway.
The easter egg is indeed at 0:46 – the link provided at 0:27 might be a dud. Why else would it have such a silly mistake as to ask for “Address Line 2” twice? Just saying… when you figure it out, you will know.
