About
Google Ultron is a fictitious, super-powered version of the Google Chrome web browser that is said to be powered by Adobe Reader and used by the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA).
Origin
This meme was spawned by an anonymous 4chan user in 2014 who claimed to be an IT consultant, despite having no credentials. In one of anons' passages, he is asked for his opinion on the best web browser. Anon forgets the name of the Chrome browser, and trying to save face, replies that he uses Google Ultron.
The OP further elaborates the lie by saying it's used by NASA, but looks exactly like chrome. Harkening back to previous posts by the same anon author where he proves his 'skills' by (sometimes) downloading Adobe Reader, this software is also frequently referenced in the meme.
Spread
A Twitter user (@ashwinning) made a page to download 'Google Ultron', which if clicked leads to the installation of Google Chrome.
