Chrome calls home with all kinds of private data and it doesn't ask permission. https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/privacy/ https://www.google.com/chrome/br

  Which point on there specifically bothers you? All of those seem obvious to me - if you use Translate, it goes to Google. Also, a lot of that is disabled when you go to incognito mode; e.g. the search engine prediction in the omnibar. Plus, you can encrypt the data Chrome uses to sync -- see: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1181035?hl=en https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1181035?hl=en

      You can disable these things in the settings and they get automatically disabled in incognito mode.

  Does this apply to Chromium as well? Because if not, there you have it.

      There's more discussion if you follow the link to the relevant Chromium issue at the bottom of the page. In particular it doesn't seem malicious and actually it's only started on demand. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=498272 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=498272
