Google Chrome To Share Your Browser History With Employer

SAN FRANCISCO â In a move thatâs either a dystopian prank or Googleâs bid to end WFH forever, Chrome announced today it will automatically share usersâ browser history with their employers. The feature, dubbed âBig Brother Mode,â allegedly helps companies âbuild trustâ by exposing your 3 a.m. Amazon impulse buys, Cocomelon binges, and that spicy OnlyFans tab you thought died with incognito.
âI opened Outlook and got an email from HR titled âRe: Your Googling of âhot pics of Sydney Sweeneyâ and âwhy is HR so useless?ââ said marketing analyst Kyle, 24, who is now âexploring new opportunitiesâ on LinkedIn.
The chaos stems from a sneaky Chrome update that auto-forwards your history to employers if youâve ever logged into Slack on the same device. âWeâre just helping teams align values,â said a Google spokesperson, while wearing a shirt that read âYes, I Saw Your Reddit Alt Account.â
Already, the fallout is apocalyptic:
- 73% of remote workers caught Googling âhow to look busy on Zoomâ during meetings.
- A CFO resigned after Chrome exposed his Etsy obsession for custom anime body pillows.
- HR departments are now the most feared OnlyFans creators.
Meanwhile, LinkedIn influencers are pivoting to posts like âWhy Getting Fired for Your âGoth Mommyâ Search History is a Growth Opportunity.â
Google claims users can opt out by âswitching to Bing like a loser.â Microsoft, smelling blood, tweeted, âStart Edging.â
TL;DR: Google see's everything
