Google Chrome Download | google.com
www.google.com/chrome
- eridius 15y agoThat's a paid ad. You can tell from the yellow background and from the text that says "Ad" in the upper-right.
- azakai 15y agoI'm aware of that. My point was that not much has actually changed in practical terms. Yes, there is a little "Ad" text and slightly different background, but both before and after, the first thing people see when they search for "google chrome" is the Chrome download page.
- eridius 15y agoPerhaps, but a lot of people are trained to not see ads. I know I _never_ read the boxes with yellow backgrounds.
- driax 15y agoHere in Denmark Google doesn't advertise their browser. However Microsoft does. So a search for "browser" returns an ad for IE, wikipedia as the top result, and then Firefox, Opera and Safari without Google Chrome anywhere on the first search page. So it definitely has changed in practical terms.
- bonch 15y agoHow convenient that they can pay themselves for an ad and circumvent the punishment anyway.
