Except Chrome indeed sends up all URLs you browse, at least by default/outside of incognito mode.

  Are you talking about encrypted sync data or something else?

    Both autosuggest[1] and Safe Browsing[2] sends URLs or "portion of" URLs home to Google. At least Google is fairly transparent about it, if you look for it. And I'd trust them way more than a tiny company making a "dime a dozen" app. [1]: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/13730681?hl=en#zippy=%2Chow-we-protect-your-data%2Chow-the-address-bar-works https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/13730681?hl=en#zipp...

      Doesn't safe browsing use a bloom filter to minimize those checks? Yeah autosuggest is there and it has a toggle. But that's still far from every URL you browse.
