Why "Googler" in the post title? Post on a private blog, code posted on a private Github account...

  Maybe he works at Google

  The article states > ”Google engineer Felix Krause has detailed an alarming privacy setting in Apple’s iOS…” It’s added information. If it were meant to imply that it had something to do with his work at Google, the headline would likely have been “Google proves…”.

    It adds nothing to the title. Mentioning in the article content that Felix works at Google would be enough. He didn't release that information as a Google engineer, but a private person. This just feels like they want to play the Google vs. Apple angle, don't you think?

      Considering later in the piece they write “Interestingly, this marks yet another occasion in which Google discovers technical inconsistencies or vulnerabilities in competitors’ products.”, they definitely are playing that angle.
