What privacy concerns exactly?
Oh and look at Iron, which uses the Chromium source.

Could you make just one thread, jamjar? I swear you have like 5 threads just on what browser to use! 
In your other thread you said you prefered Firefox, so why do you even have concerns over Chrome? Just don't use it or give Iron a go as Burnsy suggests.

These privacy concerns will never be 'sorted out' as harvesting information is what google does best.
Go here for a comparison between chrome and iron, which also outlines these privacy issues.

When I was trialling it I wasn't too concerned.
I changed the search bar query to remove the unique identifier to Google, disabled suggestions and update checking.
However I did notice after a certain number of launches it phoned home, even with all the features disabled in options.

Chromeplus is another option, personally I prefer it over Iron, though Firefox's range of extensions wins me over every time.
