That's not even close to a chunk. That's a bit of a nick, probably from a bit of glass.

I'd be confident to drive on that no problems at all.

It also depends how you drive. If you drive really hard all the time and do alot of motorway driving for hours at high speed, hard cornering etc its proberly worth changing. Where as if you just drive down the road in residential areas once or twice a week at 30mph or less you can risk it more......
