Chrome has been recording metadata (URLs, timestamps, etc) about your activity since forever, and you can turn this off if you like, see https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity.

They don't record data (POSTs etc).

Nitpicky, but metadata is data and this distinction favors google too much in my opinion

That's on Google apps, that's not on Chrome. That's not Chrome sending your browsing data or content from inside webpages to Google.
