Forgive me if I've misunderstood, but Chrome Sync is off by default, and there are alternatives, such as XMarks, that you can install instead. Same goes for iCloud Sync in Safari and Firefox Sync too.
Yep, I signed up for lastpass+xmarks for these reasons. I pay them the $20 for mobile access as well, that and I want to support a cross browser solution instead of having everything tied to one vendor.
