Switch, or Else

For some months now, I have been asked by Google to switch my browser to Chrome. It looks like this:

I took the Chrome statement at face value: if I would switch to Chrome I would be able to better control/limit advertisements via pop-up blocker settings and other such things.

I just realized this last week that I have understood it incorrectly.

What they are saying is that if I switch to Chrome I will stop seeing their annoying ad for Chrome.

    Have you been using Internet Explorer this whole time?

    Yes, that’s a screenshot from my work laptop and IE is the corporate standard. They enforce compliance – any other browsers are detected and uninstalled by some magic IT script. Last time I put Firefox on that laptop it was gone within 24 hours.
