Does using Chromium protect your privacy against Google?

Apparently I heard Chromium is the non-tracking version of Google Chrome. So in other words, unlike Google Chrome, Chromium does NOT track all of the pages you've visited. So is Chromium really the non-tracking version of Google Chrome? Is it true that Google Chromium tracks all of the pages you visit, and then send that info back to Google?

In the configuration I use it, the answer is no (I didn't try to see if any kind of tracking happens with the default settings, but I have some doubts about it).
