Firefox has equal share with Chrome and most of the techies I know still use Firefox. Not having every private test URL of stuff you're working on sent to Google is reason enough. I do have several dev friends that use Chrome. They're usually mobile devs unconcerned with privacy (they have everything in Google).

Firefox has a separate search box from the URL box for a reason. Every keystroke of the search box is sent to Google so the auto-complete results come up. Chrome has a single box for both URLs and search, so every character of every URL you type is sent to Google. That's the difference.

Put up or shut up:

Please provide evidence that Chrome sends private URLs to Google.

If you have omnibox predictions turned on, every keystroke is logged.
