I might be wrong here, but isn't the open source Chromium software shipped without Google branding and integration? As in, it doesn't contain the stuff which concerns your privacy.
Installing a new browser and setting it as the default browser is pretty trivial in Ubuntu (not so much in other distros), so if they change the default browser, it's hardly a reason to change distros.
