One of the coolest parts of using any Google product is the hidden Easter eggs and features that keep popping up from time-to-time. A few years ago, Google added the dinosaur game in Chrome that you could play during an internet outage.
To play the game, one can disconnect the computer from the web and perform a random search. As Chrome would be offline, you’ll get the T-Rex dinosaur on your screen. The game can be activated by simply hitting the space button. This game is so addictive that I ended up searching for ways to play it while browsing the web. In this article, I’ll be telling you three ways to play Chrome Dinosaur game while being online —
