Google Chrome Updates Incognito Mode Disclaimer Following $5 Billion Lawsuit

The new disclaimer clarifies that Incognito mode does not prevent data collection by websites and services, including Google.

Google Chrome has updated its disclaimer for Incognito mode, clarifying that it does not prevent data collection by websites visited or services used, including Google itself.
The change comes in the wake of a $5 billion lawsuit alleging Google tracked users' internet use even in Incognito mode.
The updated disclaimer has been seen in Chrome's early-release, experimental 'Canary' version and is expected to be included in the stable version soon.
The new disclaimer states that while Incognito mode prevents others using the same device from seeing your activity, it does not change how data is collected by websites and services.
Despite the lawsuit settlement, a federal judge still needs to approve the agreement on February 24.
