To be fair, these aren't the "ads" this inflammatory title suggested... these are not AdSense ads displaying directly inside of Chrome, these are links to Chrome and the Chrome Store... inside of Chrome.

Just like you might find an iTunes link inside of Safari someday... or down at the bottom of your launch bar on Mac... or the Windows store in Windows 8... or the Ubuntu Store inside the Add/Remove software app.

He's not referring to those, he's referring to the top message:

> Get a Chromebook for the holidays: the computer powered by Chrome.

I think the OP is referring to the yellow bar at the top that says ‘Get a Chromebook for the holidays’.

I think Google could be testing the waters for in-browser ads..
