  Yeah.. not sure I want my browsing taking place in software authored by someone who does this kind of thing. Gross level of immaturity. Dumb furry joke today, adware tomorrow.

    I don't know why you're down voted. Even if it doesn't get a person in trouble with HR, it'd be embaressing and humiliating to have one of those images pop up at work, in a public place, during a presentation, in front of family members, etc. So strange that they'd do so much work to make a professional looking product and then throw users under the bus with something stupid and juvenile like that. It's their right, of course, but count me out.

      Hey calm down a bit can't be that bad. If I read the code correctly this will almost never happen because the Easter egg has been designed to only show up when your mother, the head of HR, and your boss are jointly attending a presentation you're giving at a public venue, so... quite unlikely /s

It's not an easter egg. It's just something needless and inappropriate. I'm all for whimsy and fun and easter eggs, but this is just... crass.

I found the original commit [1] since the other Github link in the thread shows the removal. I'm not entirely sure what the thought process was around adding it to begin with [1] https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/commit/26655c920b6a9e4cdcbf9b3e49a6014cc7af325e https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/commit/26655c920b6a9e4... edit: the commit link is nsfw

I’m curious what kind of rule set/heuristic this set off? It’s not necessarily a bad alarm but certainly a non-obvious result.
