I would see this in a more positive light if searching for the word "Chrome" did not find the Google Chrome homepage. However, they chose the word "browser", which isn't quite the same thing.

No, I think they demoted the URL, no matter what the search term; the initial searchengineland article was written while the demotion was still propagating, and "chrome" was still ranking. Now:

'In fact, the page no longer ranks for “chrome” or for “chrome browser,” either.'

Thanks for the clarification. They only demote the URL and not what it linked to.
