> Does Chrome send automated telemetry reports about my browsing to Google when you are not logged in with your Google account?

Yes. And if you sign into Chrome (which now automatically happens if you sign into any Google website, IIRC), it uploads your full browsing history.

> Does Chrome give remote code excecution privileges to Google (Yeah, via the Updater, but that does not really count)?

Yes.

I don't see how you could have done honest research into this and arrived at the conclusions you have.

You can compare https://www.google.com/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.html. and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/

maybe it's just me, but Google privacy note seems a lot more reasonable. And if it is correct, they ask if they may collect usage statistics during the installation, while Firefox does not.
