You don't have to use Chrome Sync (or even chrome) to have a google account, it's just a nice bonus feature of having one is that Chrome can use your google account to sync across devices.

But you can also make a firefox account and get very similar functionality to chrome sync.

Click in the upper right, the icon w/the head and shoulders and make a firefox account if you think you'd like the sync feature.
