Play Minesweeper in Chrome

SUMMARY: Play the classic computer game Minesweeper directly inside the Google Chrome web browser.

 

Looking for a quick diversion inside Google Chrome while waiting for a download to finish or a movie to buffer and begin playing? Sure you could play a game of Minesweeper which is in about every operating system available, but that would mean moving your mouse pointer all the way to the Taskbar (Windows) or other application launcher, or using the keyboard. And you're too lazy to do that (grin).

Which is why now you can add a Minesweeper game to the Google Chrome browser! Install this extension and play whenever you like. Three game modes are available - small (happy face), medium (frowning face), and large (crying face). The extension keeps track of high scores (low times) for you.


1. From Google Chrome, visit the Chrome MineSweeper page.

2. Click the "Install" button.

3. Click "Install" in the "Confirm Installation" dialog box when prompted.
