I keep myself blind during the review process by not remembering anyone's name

I actually try my best not to Google them and usually succeed. In fact don't think I've ever done that while doing the review.

But wouldn't that make sense actually? Comparing authors' previous work on the subject with the manuscript at hand improves review in a way.

But then you are opening yourself up to a whole bunch of implicit biases based on who they are.

If the previous work is relevant they would cite it? But Google them I would discover eg their culture and race etc

Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. That's why you check. Knowing culture and race is fine as long you're not ethnocentric and racist no?

I think you're using words very differently to me. But I'm glad you strive to resolve and recognise your biases.
