That probably depends on your definition of ‘backdoors’. Some of the data Chrome sends to Google could easily be considered a breach of privacy (and the corresponding functionality hence supposedly doesn’t exist in Chromium).

I've never heard a claim that Chrome sends more data than Chromium. Do you have a link?

The Wikipedia page on Chromium[0] gives some differences, though my remark was admittedly mostly based on the description of the chromium package in Debian[1], which at least claims ‘usage tracking’ (and the generally useless and backdoor-like auto-updater).
