None of those settings seem to apply to the case in question:

It seems that on first request it query google for unique client ID (getting NID Cookie)

Requests to safebrowsing are not anonymous. All of them signed with cookie, getted on the first 2-3 requests

EDIT: You added those two sentences. The guy claims changing the default search engine didn't change this behavior.

Did he clear the browsing data, too? I don't use Chromium, but I've seen similar requests with other browsers. The only way I have found to get the browser to stop sending the requests is to zorch all the browsing history, saved cookies, cached garbage, burn the village to the ground and sacrifice small birds. Of course, as soon as you search for soemthing against google.com, the requests will happily start up again.
