Sorry i misstated, it was the article at the second link from post i responded to. first image of that post, under where it says 'Get Chrome - Download Chrome Today' there is a green text that shows www.google.com. I thought that was enforced by the search engine and not able to be manipulated.

At the risk of insinuating too much, there is a concerning incentive for Bing to provide corrupt links to Chrome.

That definitely seems like a major flaw with Bing's search ads. They should be either deriving that green domain name, or verifying it matches the link, or at least verifying that you own that domain.

I can't find a current Bing search ad whose green domain name doesn't match the domain of the destination of the link. Hopefully they've fixed this by now.
