Google employees cracked jokes about the Chrome browser’s “Incognito mode” and criticized the company for not living up to its users’ expectations for privacy, according to a series of internal communications unearthed in court.
In one 2018 chat, a Google engineer proposed changing Incognito mode’s icon to “Guy Incognito,” a character from the Simpsons known for looking identical to protagonist Homer Simpson except for a mustache, according to court documents reported by Bloomberg.
The character’s lazy disguise “accurately conveys the level of privacy [Incognito mode] provides” in comparison to Chrome’s standard browsing mode, the employee said.
Don’t trust Google.
