Google misleading users searching for IE 9 to download Chrome

  I wonder if anyone else is getting the similar results. It's only happening on firefox.

    You know that people are getting similar results... you commented on a duplicate thread ~1 hour ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2257496 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2257496

      I want to know how widespread it is though, because apparently through Asia you get it, but if you proxy through the US you don't. And a friend in Australia didn't get it either.

  That's under the Ad section. Not really sure if that's misleading. If I search for a BMW and I get an ad for Jaguar, shouldn't that be expected? Also, I tried the search on Mac and I didn't get the ad. Just Internet Explorer 9.

    Well, I don't think there would be a problem if the ad title said 'Google Chrome'. But having a title like 'Internet Explorer 9' point to the chrome download page is misleading in my opinion. Same with a Jaguar ad if the title said "BMW", except of course you're not browsing in Jaguar's search engine
