I just did this search yesterday to install Chrome on a new machine, and the chrome browser website was actually the first result. But it was a "paid" result, shaded as those things are, and I mentally tuned it out. I looked down the page in frustration that the browser site wasn't coming up and only then noticed the "paid" link. Which probably says something about the effectiveness of those paid links.

I just tried searching for 'chrome', and an ad appeared at the top of the page leading straight to the Google Chrome download page. The first real search result was a link to that comic strip about Chrome's development.
