I keep Chrome around just for the occasion that I ned to use Flash.

Chrome happily installs from an OS X standard account, it does not need to be installed by an administrator. As such, it probably isn't able to put stuff "everywhere".

BTW, maybe it's just me, but I have installed Chrome as its own user. That makes it more difficult for it to spy on my day-to-day activity.

  ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
  ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/
  ~/Library/Google/Google Chrome Brand.plist
  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent.plist
  ~/Library/Caches/Google
  ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist
  ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Keystone.Agent.plist

Nowhere outrageously surprising, really.
