My dude. Google Chrome hoovers up all your browsing history. Google knows the content of pages you visit, because you make search queries to visit them, and most sites use Google Analytics or Webmaster tools, or the sites are in their index and can be looked up by URL reported by Chrome. Google has your Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive… if it wanted to, it could access your private stuff because it has access to your email. You are whinging about a silly joke project with a hypothetical concern, when you are already granting broad permissions to all of your data.
