BTW I wish I could just disable all features but those basic ones every website uses (and "data URIs" support please!!! I really want to to disable it!) and enable them manually on per-domain basis (the way I do with scripts using NoScript and uMatrix).
With Chrome you face the inherent untrustworthiness of nonfree software. Chrome users always trust Google. No set of preference changes or add-ons makes Chrome safe from Google's power over your data or your computer. This strikes me as a fundamentally worse position for any Chrome user.
