Google has updated the disclaimer for Chrome's Incognito mode following a $5 billion class-action lawsuit settlement. The update warns users that websites and Google will still collect their data. This comes after Google was sued for allegedly violating federal wiretap laws due to Incognito mode not being as private as advertised. The lawsuit has led to a more explicit disclaimer for Incognito mode. The new warning will come as a surprise to many of Chrome's two-billion-plus users.
