Sorry to go off on you because this is a larger issue then your comment but seriously, can we hold this discussion to a higher standard?

Prove to me that Google is tracking me through Chrome. Link me to an article with proof of collection.

Most of us our developers here, surely we can apply some more rigor to this conversation then “we know Google is doing this because it’s Google”.

If you sign in to Chrome, your history is game for ad matching according to Google https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/165139

Sure, but if you sign into your Google account on any browser it does the same thing.

It's not unique to Chrome. There are additional sync options that are available to Chrome, but those are all opt in.

just sign into Chrome, and visit myactivity.google.com

you'll see your browsing history, which unless you have a preference turned off deep within settings, Google may then use to target advertising.
