Maybe. I'm more comfortable signing into my accounts using Chrome packaged by Google than by a third party. I should probably familiarise myself with the linked repo to show I'm worrying about nothing.
Google only packages Chrome for Ubuntu (deb) officially. If you are not using Ubuntu, you are probably not using Chrome directly from Google. However, if you use flatpaks you might as well trust this one package from flathub since the trust model is the same.
It not only is packaged by a third party but also uses a community-written patch[1] to replace Chrome's built-in sandbox with Flatpak's own sandbox. It's unclear to me whether Chromium upstream has vetted or is even aware of this modification.
