Showcasing the drool-worthy
The brains behind Google Chrome
Sep 4, 2008
Brian Rakowski, a group product manager, demonstrated several Chrome features. Among them was the Incognito mode that makes sure no traces of a person's browsing habits are left on a computer. Google found that people often totally eliminated their browser history when trying to erase such tracks, but that history was valuable to Omnibox and other functions, so Google wanted another way to handle history.
Rakowski studiously avoided any reference to pornography, one obvious use for private browsing modes, but did cite an example of investigating toe fungus. "Maybe I want to do a little research for a friend," he said.
