They had some iconic ads back in the day. Some examples:

Stability - https://youtu.be/GZRZcKEtHzo
Security - https://youtu.be/ekeRDKxQe1g
Edit: cleaned up the links
Huh, watching this in current year, the "crashed tabs won't crash your browser" one feels like an oddly technical detail to include in a commercial. I guess I'm just so used to it now that it's hard for me to imagine that web browsers weren't always as reliable as they are now.
Also, look, I appreciate your comment, but could you please at least remove the ?si= tracking nonsense from your youtube links?
For everyone else, here are nvidious links:

People forget but when chrome first came out it was extremely ahead of the competition.
I'd also like to add, to whomever it may concern, that you can find a userscript to automatically convert youtube links into invidious links, among other things, here.
There's a couple others made by the same guy you may be interested in, like a basic link tracker remover
Thanks for sharing!
