Chocolatey. https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/GoogleChrome

Firefox, preferably. Also done via Chocolatey. Web browsers for getting a software install is so stringy.

I can't think of a single project that is concerned with directly user-facing elements that doesn't gather data about its users needs. Gnome uses telemetry, too. Otherwise, we end up with KDE 2007 again.

It's open source, too. You can delete the whole module with a single click and a sudo if it bothers you. Try that on MacOS or Windows.

You mean the completely opt-in thing that is off by default and enables people to anonymously contribute user information so the developers know they're on the right track for new features, support, and updates?

There's even a slider after you opt in to determine how much information you want to share. I'm concerned about software that develops with no user input.
