TL;DR Summary

Google has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit for $5 billion over allegations that it tracked users' internet activities even when they were using the "incognito" mode in Chrome and other browsers. The lawsuit claimed that Google misled users about their privacy, as its advertising technologies still collected data during private browsing sessions. The settlement terms have not been disclosed, but a final agreement is expected to be presented to the court by February 24. Google has yet to comment on the settlement.
