Is anyone else getting ads in chrome's new tab screen?

The only extensions I am running are adblock plus and Authenticator

I haven't noticed because I have another extension managing the UI for a new tab.

Also Google.com .

Given that Nest is now owned by Google; I guess that this is self advertisement and not a leased space.
