Well, I went against John's advice and well, crashed google chrome (forced closed it with my fancy menu). And well, ever since then, its had a little memory problem. It doesn't remember anything I do. I mean all my most viewed pages had been reset and chrome never shows new ones on startup and it forgets all my settings that I change.
I was going to do a fresh install, but then I thought, will google still receive the stuff I type in the address bar? I mean I heard that google knows everything you look at through there web browser but can they see it now that its broken?
Note that this isn't in the support forums because I don't want advice on how to fix it, just wanna know if google can see what I do?

If anonymity is what you're after then apparently unchrome (http://www.abelssoft.net/unchrome.php) does the job.
I've not used it as I'm not keen on chrome and I don't know how it would play with a portable version but it could be worth a try.
Or better yet, use SRWare Iron which has 100% privacy/anonymity from the very beginning. And if that doesn't sway you, it comes built in with adblocking :P.

almost the same day that it came out, wasn't satisfied. I couldn't change the theme at all. It crashed when you replaced default.dll.
Works fine for me. Maybe you got the wrong download...

I ow if it is true, but I heard one person say that when they were at google headquarters, they saw all the google searches being done throughout the world going by superfast on a large screen in the lobby. Very Orwellian! I don't think that answers your question, but my take on this has always been if you don't want someone else to see it don't do it on a computer that is connected to the internet or that anyone else has access to.

I read the descriptions on their respective websites. Those browsers are not anonymous - not even in a small way.
Here is the portable application you are looking for:
Tor Browser Bundle
https://www.torproject.org/torbrowser/
The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.
I don't think anyone, certainly not me, meant they were anonymous in the same way Tor is, simply that google wouldn't be able to track what you're up to quite so much as if you were using chrome.
If you want actual anonymity then Tor is certainly the way forward. It was a poor choice of words on my part.
chrome has task manager. don't remember that from iron.
Right click on the title bar, and choose Task Manager.
Or push Shift+Esc.
