His article says if you know the answer to his questions, then comment below.. but there isn't a below to comment in.
Well, I know the answers, and none of them are particularly interesting.
The "never saved passwords" aren't passwords, they're sites where you've clicked "never on this site" in response to a "save this password?" prompt. It has to remember which site you said that on, so that's the list of sites. Woopitty doo.
The addresses are populated from a combination of: (a) addresses you intentionally added, (b) addresses automatically saved from form-fills, and potentially (c) addresses you've saved to your Google account if you're logged in to Chrome with one. These live in the google payments app; if you have credit card on file (e.g. if you buy things from google) or if Google pays you (e.g. adsense), then the "billing address" is attached to your account. Chrome will auto-fill those addresses.
All the other speculative nonsense in his article is just that. If you give information to Google in a way that it looks like you want them to save it, then they will save it and regurgitate those details back to you when it looks like you want them to.
They don't share this information with anyone else because (and I know this sounds revolutionary, but bear with me) because you probably don't want them to.
