Update: The video is no longer available on the website, and we have removed the link to it as a consequence. Late last night, Google provided an auto-update patch that temporarily disables. I would not think that it's much of a problem to turn some televisions off during the show but the disturbance at the press conference was on a different level. We anticipate further fixes in the coming days which will re-enable many or all of these features on this hardware.
My personal opinion is that this was a bad joke. At least Brian Lam has been involved in this incident as well because he states in a comment at Valleywag that he gave the order to do it but to not disturb press conferences.
Chrome 1.61 ( Mac/linux) and 1.61/62( Windows) contains a number of fixes and improvements - a list of changes is available in the log. This will roll out over the coming days/weeks. The problem is that the conference's organizer, the Consumer Electronics Association, saw the video as well and immediately banned the Gizmodo rep from all future CES shows and is even considering further actions against Gizmodo and its parent company Gawker. The Chrome team is delighted to announce the promotion of Chrome 106 to the stable channel for Windows, Mac and Linux. They did turn off televisions during at least one press conference and numerous presentations and did publish the video on their website. They even created a video that is available at their website showing what they did. In the article entitled Confessions: The Meanest Thing Gizmodo Did at CES Brian Lam describes how they used a device called TV-B-Gone to turn off television screens at this years CES.
