If you actually about peoples online security you wouldn't try to make them install Google Chrome, the biggest dis-info search engine there is, that constantly tracks everything, one can only assume you are paid to do so.

For almost 11 years (since late 2010), when you install or update the free version of CCleaner, there may be an offer for Chrome or some other software shown. Your assumption is correct - as we declare at the top of the display:
CCleaner has quite a large free user base (we don't publish the numbers, but it's larger than the population of most countries) and this helps offset the costs so that we can keep CCleaner free available to everyone. They are marked as an "optional offer", there is no obligation to accept them, and you can certainly click the big blue "decline" button if you don't want it.
If you are not a Chrome fan and want a web browser with an Ad Blocker and enhanced protection from tracking, you may prefer CCleaner Browser: https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/browser
