Under no circumstance do I want my browsing history being sent to a server. That's a pretty black and white issue being violated here. Extremely anti-user.

It's not remotely "anti-user". I want my browsing history sent to a server. I want that history available from all my devices. I suspect most users want that as well. I love it that on Chrome iOS I see history from my desktop Chrome. Even Firefox has this feature. Nothing "anti-user" about it

It's extremely anti-user. There is zero reason for this data to be passed unencrypted to Google, other than for them to spy on you. It would be trivial to implement syncing in a way that didn't expose all of your browsing habits to a spyware company.

It's a complete violation of privacy.
