- Google found itself in more trouble after it was unable to defend itself in a class action lawsuit where it was under fire for using Chrome users' data in Incognito Mode.
- The company argued that it had indicated that it collects and tracks the user's data even when in Incognito Mode, but this wasn't depicted in the disclaimer message, ultimately forcing it to part with a sum of $5 billion as settlement.
- Google Chrome has since made a subtle change to the disclaimer message displayed when entering Incognito Mode to indicate that the user's data will still be tracked and collected even while in Incognito Mode.
