K-porn pushes Chrome

At a fairly well known Korean site of ill repute (don't ask), something caught my eye, more than the grainy motel footage from 15 years ago, in the side banner:


That's right. Of all Korean websites, it is this one that is actively promoting the use of Chrome.

It reads 재생이 안되는 분들 크롬으로 감상해주세요 동영상 로딩에 2초 가량 소모. In other words, if the videos aren't loading, please switch to Chrome browser. And give them 2 seconds to load.


Maybe it wasn't all the complaints about banking and shopping and Active-X that did it. Maybe we can all thank the red-light sites for pushing Korea into modern browser usage by tapping into something stronger than arguments about user-interface and security: sex.
