Comment on Google misleading users searching for IE 9 to download Chrome

Comments

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
