Advice Request Google Chrome "privacy"?

[simmerskool]

just curious would appreciate some feedback. what privacy if any does chrome provide?
I'm running VPN, I also opened chrome incognito to an empty (blank) url & according to sysinternals tcpview chrome opened 14 TCP connections port 443 to:
5 to google (to at least 3 different ip)
6 to 1.amazonaws.com (2 ip)
2 to microsoft cheyenne wo (1 ip)
1 to n/a verizon (1ip)

what's going on with all these connections? do I need wireshark to capture what's going out?? IP info is from spiceworks.
ps I do have an iphone on verizon, but was not using it when chrome opened verizon related connection, don't know how or if related.

When you use chrome you have no privacy. Incognito mode is not helping either

Incognito browsing is not as private as most people think

You may think you’re going deep undercover when you set your web browser to incognito. But you’d likely be mistaken, a new study finds.

I personally use Vivaldi and Brave browser since a long time ago.

Also, I try to stay away from Google as much as possible. I use Ecosia.org search engine or duckduckgo.com

Ditto all of the above. I use Brave and Edge Dev, both excellent Chromium browsers. The latter because I prefer to pick my poison.

Vivaldi on Linux (default search changed to duckduckgo) and duckduckgo browser (not perfect yet, but it's slowly starting to get better) on Android.

what's going on with all these connections?

Every feature triggers a connection, for example: Sending data to the server by the browser - Browser. Help
Google, addons and others use CDN like amazon, that is what this extension is for: Decentraleyes | Local CDN Emulation

It's not 100% invading privacy software. Chrome supports plenty of security and privacy extensions, and with the correct configuration you can get better privacy than stock Chrome. The OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) also provide different security and privacy software to further improve privacy.

Old information..

Changes are coming.
