I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn't evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother's high score. Good memories.

I wouldn't be very happy if my browser injected ads into webpages.

It does that? I use Edge with ublock origin and have zero issues.

uBlock origin might be able to block Edge's embedded ads, but yes, Edge does that. For example, if you go to the page to download Google Chrome, a banner ad covers the top half of your screen that advertises Edge's features.

Even if uBlock fixes this, I don't know why anyone would want to use a browser that does this in the first place when better Chromium based browsers exist, especially Brave. (I prefer Firefox, but I understand the need to use Chromium instead of Gecko as webpages are generally slightly more reliable).

Google search does the same thing of you search for mozilla firefox.. lol

True, but thats a search engine. They inject ads into every search, your web browser has no business doing that.
