What is Chrome Dino?
ChromeDino.com is a fan site that lets you play the Dinosaur Game, the little T-Rex runner Google Chrome shows when your internet connection drops, at any time. The original game was made by Chrome's UX team in 2014; this site is not run by Google.
The dinosaur runs automatically and speeds up over time. You jump over cacti and duck under pterodactyls for as long as you can. The site adds online extras the offline version does not have: daily and all-time leaderboards, nicknames, alternative skins and seasonal editions like a Halloween dino.
