Give Google some privacy of what is being sent home :) Chrome (and Chromium) creates at start and maintains SSL connections to Google. It is not easy to sniff what is being sent. Even if you MITM it, like in enterprise transparent proxies, Chrome will throw an error because of cert pinning. google domains should be whitelisted: "we recommend that you avoid the use of transparent proxies." https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/3504942?hl=en

Seems like patching that out of binary would be trivial task.

But I doubt the Chrome extension that would do that patching could stay at Chrome store.

There's also Bromium and some other Chromium forks and patchsets. I was talking about Chrome.
