But nobody yet has confirmed this issue. It's been mentioned but without any supporting evidence.

Does anyone have a link or other evidence that definitively shows that Chrome sends my browsing history to Google independently of my signed-in status? That's what was implied. That's what I find hard to believe. That's what has not yet been demonstrated in this thread.

No problem! We'll just check the source code for Chrome.

...

Ah. We can't. Chrome is closed-source, because Google wants to... Say, why is Chrome closed-source? What do Google add to Chromium that they don't want you to see?

Point well made, but my question stands! If the OP's allegation is true, someone has sniffed the packets. There's a blog post somewhere. There's something.

I just want that something here, for the record. As it stands, I am dismissing the allegation as baseless. I'm not sticking up for Chrome, which I do not trust, but this allegation has no evidence.
