GOOGLE IS BUILT ON LIES AND EXPLOITATION: Google employees joked about how ‘Incognito mode’ is ‘not truly private.’

via nypost:

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.
