Why do I need to have an itunes account to download google chrome

I've just got an ipad. I want to put Google chrome on it.

I went into the apps store, hit get and install, and the first thing I need to do is set up an iTunes accounts, read 47 pages of terms and conditions, and then give my credit card details.

I have no interest in iTunes, and I'm certainly not giving Apple my credit card details unless and until I want to buy something.

So how can I get chrome without lodging my credit card with Apple?

And now I fond that there aren't any suitable forums available to me yet. So who can I ask this basic question to?
