I'll stick with Firefox, but thanks anyways.

Now, Google says it will do a real-time check for sites that it couldn’t find in its database and will then send an encrypted version of the URLs to Fastly’s independently operated privacy server.

So their idea of protecting privacy is to scan every URL you visit, match it against their database, and then share it with another company? Google ... We have very different definitions of what privacy means.
