With so many aspects of our lives now taking place, it’s no wonder that Google Chrome’s incognito mode is so popular. However, while you might think that incognito mode protects you from being tracked online, a recent lawsuit shows this isn’t really the case.
As reported by MSPowerUser, at the end of last year, Google settled a class-action lawsuit to the tune of $5 billion in which it was accused of collecting user data in Chrome’s incognito mode. While the search giant initially tried to have the lawsuit dismissed, a judge disagreed on the basis that the company never explicitly informed users about how data was collected while in incognito mode.
