When asked to comment, pedo Spez said, “officially it’s a complete cowinkydink.”

This is not the smoking gun you all think it is.

Chrome retained that name from Chromium, which was the original title when it was open source. Google weren't allowed to keep the name Chromium so it became Google Chrome. This name was chosen to designate it as a Chromium based browser while not infringing on the Chromium naming rights.

So what's your explanation for the graphics division, literally called, "Adrena"?

Thus named after "Chrome" became the standard name, I should add.

Well, given that most of Google's teams are from companies they took over, it's probably also a remnant of someone else's idea.

Well, I've been looking up Google adrena and absolutely nothing comes up except for more shit like this.

Nobody gives a source, there's no Wikipedia page for the company to show it exists, there's no evidence any of this is real!

Also, the page on the screenshot is in French? Why's that? Google aren't French.

None of this makes any sense. People call me conspiritarded for my "Future is female is a dogwhistle to the academic paper with a similar title that talks about male genocide" theory, but then they believe this?

Qualcomm isn't a Google subsidiary, it's a major chip manufacturer, similar to AMD. They work with Google because of their chips being needed by Android phones, which are a Google product.

Apparently, according to what little information there is, the name was chosen because it was an anagram of Radeon, the name of AMD's most popular chipset.

Read acquisition reports about Adreno. Google owns it.

Yeah, lots of browsers run on Chromium, the new MS Edge, Opera to name a couple.

I think you are correct, They're remnants of old software naming conventions.

So fake. Did you even look this up? Adrena has nothing to do with Google and it’s not a graphics program, it’s navigation tools for sailboats.

Edit: Since I keep getting downvoted. It’s right there in your fucking screenshot “Navigation Software”.

Right? It's amazing how many ridiculous posts like this we get here and even more amazing how many people actually believe it.

That does not appear to be a deterrent for certain religions.

#FakeNews af

Adrena Software (same logo as the screenshot) is a Regatta Racing Navigation Software...

... And as far as I can see has nothing to do with Google.

It would be a fun conspiracy theory if true, but we're better than falling for this shit that literally took me 2 mins to debunk.
