I removed the sentence because you're right. I assumed it worked like I said but like always, assumption is the mother of all errors. My apologies for the misinformation and thanks for bringing it up.
I was wondering about this myself. I've been developing a Chrome extension off/on for the past year and did moderate reading into Chrome, Chromium and how user data is handled. Seemed ok to me. Wireshark doesn't show anything particularly alarming, either. Can anyone else confirm/deny?

They do, on the other hand, receive every URL you type via the auto-completion feature on the address bar.
