Except Chrome indeed sends up all URLs you browse, at least by default/outside of incognito mode.

Are you talking about encrypted sync data or something else?

Both autosuggest[1] and Safe Browsing[2] sends URLs or "portion of" URLs home to Google.

At least Google is fairly transparent about it, if you look for it. And I'd trust them way more than a tiny company making a "dime a dozen" app.

Doesn't safe browsing use a bloom filter to minimize those checks?

Yeah autosuggest is there and it has a toggle. But that's still far from every URL you browse.
