Isn’t Chromium basically Chrome without the spyware?

Nope. Chromium is the open source basis of Chrome but also developed almost exclusively by Google and already that one calls Google webservices. That's why projects aiming to "ungoogle" it exist.

Right, but just because a browser is based on Chromium doesn't mean it has the Google spyware, right?

Chromium is the open source project that Chrome is based on.
