Chromium is open source, Chrome includes Google's special sauce. Now, I don't think Google is abusing this privilege, but I just wanted to point out the difference.

Google is a company that makes money by knowing everything about people, and then presenting ads to them. A browser is a great way to be able to follow a user wherever they go, even after they leave Google's sites. I'm not the op, but I block google analytics for the same reason.
