You're absolutely right. Google has no respect at all for people's privacy and it's pointless to endlessly change settings in their adversarial browser to keep some (but not all) of our data from leaking. Google is just going to keep coming up with new options we'll have to change, or silently change our settings following an update to allow more data collection, or even just ignore our settings and do whatever they want anyway. You can't use untrustworthy user-hostile software and expect to not be constantly taken advantage of. Taking people's private data and handing it over to Google is what chrome was designed to do from day one.
