I don't understand Chrome's split personality (Chromium). While you could theoretically get a version that is disconnected from Google, does one actually exist?

I don't understand Chrome's split personality (Chromium). While you could theoretically get a version that is disconnected from Google, does one actually exist? There is also this issue [1] that's been open since 2011 that won't let me implement an extension similar to something like "Self destructing cookies". Looks like it doesn't align with Googles interests. [1] https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=78093 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=78093
