Don't use Chrome then. There are plenty of browsers using the Chromium open source platform. So if you like how Chrome behaves but don't like Google, use one of the Chromium-based systems.
The existence of Mozilla is based on Google investments, there are even Google devs in Mozilla which develop Firefox. Things that happen when you accept investments from others, you lose independence. Use independent browsers, best European browsers and services if you don't want to feed Google.
eg tracking analytics
Firefox for Android > Adjust Mobile Retargeting, Mozilla telemetries, Mozilla sends data to Alphabet (Google), tracking by Google Firebase
Vivaldi Android, no trackers
The worst
Opera 9 trackers, even from Facebook and naturally Google
