TL;DR Summary

Google has updated the disclaimer for Chrome's Incognito mode to clarify that user data will still be collected by websites and Google, despite the mode's promise of privacy. This change comes after a $5 billion class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's privacy options didn't work as described, leading to ongoing tracking of users. The settlement of the lawsuit is pending approval by a judge in February, and Google has stated that Incognito mode will continue to offer users the choice to browse the internet without their activity being saved to their browser or device.
