"Try Google Chrome" harassment bar ignores user preferences.

Reported by jtn...@gmail.com, Aug 26 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36 Edge/14.14393

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit Google.com, Gmail, Google Maps, or other Google sites with Microsoft Edge
2. Click "Not interested" or "No thanks" on the "Try Google Chrome" harassment bar.
3. Wait a week, get harassed again.

What is the expected behavior?
Google Chrome realizes I said I didn't want their shoddy browser, and stops trying to shove it in my face.

What went wrong?
Google Chrome advertising has hit malware levels, and it is ruining the experience on Google products. "No means no" is apparently a foreign concept to Google engineers.

Did this work before? Yes I was only pestered once or twice when using Mozilla Firefox. On Edge it's all the time.

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.79  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

Seriously. Knock it off.
