Seems pretty obvious that the bookmarks bar is one of the sources that google uses for snooping on you, if you're not allowed to keep your bookmarks from them


Google doesn't need your bookmarks to "snoop" on you. And if you are concerned I'm not sure Chrome is the right browser for you Smile | :)
I'm pretty sure they already know every single page you visit that sports google analytics snippets especially if you used the same browser to login to any google service at any time - be it gmail, youtube, picasa or whatever.

At least google uses this information for its own profit as far as I know. That is good thing actually because for now they have no interest to use it for witch-hunt of any kind as that would hurt the money.

I'm affraid the only other option would be to not use any of their products including android phones, google search engine (included by default as in-browser search also in many other browsers) and browsing each site in separate in-private mode. But even then some other corp would "snoop" on you.
