Too lazy to read the article. Can someone elaborate how does one get infected by this? Is it by merely browsing with the Chrome browser?

Doesn't really say how you get infected, but once you get infected the malware serves you up illegitimate ads instead of normal content when you search for something on Google. They never said it was specifically Google, but they don't mention any other browsers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
