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.
