Easter Eggs - Google Chrome

Not many are aware of this Easter egg in Google's very own browser Chrome. One of the reasons I am assuming it to be this way could be because this may be something that might have been plugged in quite late - in the later versions. There is one more logo hidden in Google Chrome's. Its a high quality - premium version of the same logo, but GOLDEN.


All you need to do is right click on the Chrome logo and click properties. Once you are on the Google Chromes Properties dialog click on the Change Icon button under the Shortcut tab.




In the Change Icon dialog you’ll find a bunch of  icons. This is where you will see  the golden high-res logo that looks really good. Select it.


If you do not see the logo, please ensure that your chrome is updated to the latest version. Enjoy.

Easter Eggs - YouTube

Easter eggs have caught my fancy ever since they were revealed to me by @Sv3e. A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, web page or video game. Click here for more details on Easter Eggs.

Out of a couple of Easter Eggs encountered here is one of my favorite. The YouTube Easter Egg. You can play the conventional snake game. This is how you do it.


  • Load any YouTube video
  • Pause the video a zero (0:00 sec)
  • Keep the left arrow key pressed and then press the up arrow. This is ideally to be done when you see the loader while the video is buffering.

  • The loader transforms in to a snake that you can control using the arrow keys.

  • You can even play the game while the video is playing by either rewinding or doing a fast forward using the left and right arrow keys

  • Once you see the buffering loader click the top arrow to convert it into a snake.
Kool isnt it..!!

Do drop in a line if you come across such exciting easter eggs.
