Ask HN: Does Chrome still 'call home' even if I use another search engine?

Given that I use duckduckgo and I'm not logged in, into any google accounts, does Chrome still send my data to the mothership ?

You can never know for sure, because it is closed source. If it matters for you use free software, such as Firefox.

Browsing habits, visited sites etc...

I'd say run it through a proxy and just check. I seriously doubt it, though.
