An internal Microsoft video spoofing Google's Chrome ads has surfaced, warning consumers that the browser will track them across multiple devices.
The ad is an exact parody of Google's "Chome: Now Everywhere" ad (below), right down to the background music. But while Google presented its ubiquity as a virtue, Microsoft implies that something sinister is at work. "Following you. Monetizing you. Now everywhere," it concludes.
Though Microsoft hasn't been shy about calling out Google in its "Scroogled" campaign, this particular video was not intended for public consumption, but was leaked, a Microsoft spokesperson told Mashable.
The ad appears as Microsoft and Google have publicly tangled over the YouTube app's placement in Windows Phone. Google has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Microsoft asking the company to remove the app because it does not serve up advertising.
