Google settles over Incognito mode

Google will settle, filed in 2020, accusing the tech giant of tracking users even when they were using "incognito" mode on their Chrome web browsers.

Plaintiffs argued Google amassed an "unaccountable trove of information" on users who were misled into believing they were browsing privately, when really Google's advertising technologies and other technologies kept right on cataloguing where users were going and what they were doing online.

The suit originally sought $5 Billion; terms of the settlement have not been disclosed and must still be approved by a Federal judge in California.
