I see many people here complaining about this feature, and while I completely agree with them I also find it difficult to imagine an effective way to clearly explain these concerns to a random average user with limited to no knowledge of computers. How would you go in explaining this stuff if you wanted to convince somebody to switch to another browser?

I would say that I hate this change. I have a university education in computer science, have worked with computers for many years, but don't understand what my browser is doing any more. The UI is unclear, the privacy policy says one thing, and the project manager says something else on Twitter.

It really frustrates me when applications try to guess what I want, and do things without asking. Computers are fun and interesting because they do what you tell them to do! When they do what someone think 90% of people want without asking you, they are oppressive and depressing.

Lastly, it feels like Google wants to trick me into giving them my browsing history by mistake.

So, all in all, I'll uninstall chrome from my personal computer.
