You seem to be implying that Chrome tracks every site that you go to and shares it with Google. Care to cite a source on that?

It is called an "End User License Agreement", most users check the box without reading it. To give Goog some credit, they do tend to state their intent plainly(not legal jargon) in the first couple paragraphs. Of course, sometimes they have to edit/whitewash out the "creepy" aspects.

Perhaps this (under 'Browser History')?

Of course, this can be turned off, but it is very likely to be turned on if a user has set up an Android device (lots of prompts to do so).
