How many other good engineers at Google are working on anti-competitive practice by pushing Google as default browser, providing a worse service on non-Chromium based browsers (like slowing YouTube for Firefox), etc? [Microsoft Edge does worse]
How many other good engineers at Google are working on ethically dubious practices, like tracking users that are in explicit do-not-track mode through browser fingerprinting?
How many other good engineers at Google are working on <insert any other terrible practices>?
Maybe paying a few engineers to clean up their reputation is not enough? Maybe you just picked a bad role and are looking for the wrong culprits?

- woolion 3y agoFor the first point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38345858 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38345858 For browser fingerprinting, there doesn't seem to be many sources. There is this post: https://community.brave.com/t/new-version-youtube-fingerprints-me-immediately/43402 https://community.brave.com/t/new-version-youtube-fingerprin... Yet this is very easy to reproduce, and there is no other way to explain the personalized video suggestions in private mode.
