> But do Chrome's protections also protect you equally from intercession by Google? I just want to clarify this point in my mind.

I'd say yes, unless Chrome has specific backdoors for Google. If that was ever discovered, I'd imagine a huge shitstorm happening.

Google doesn't need backdoors into Chrome, in the same way that it's technically not cheating if you adjust the rules to fit your demands better than others (see f.i. AMP).
