Google has agreed to destroy billions of browsing data records as part of a settlement in a class-action lawsuit filed in 2020. The lawsuit accused Google of misleading users by tracking their internet activity through Chrome's Incognito mode, despite claims of privacy. The settlement, valued at $5 billion, aims to address allegations that Google collected data on more than 136 million people in the U.S. using its incognito mode without their knowledge. This decision is seen as a significant move towards respecting user privacy and could influence how internet companies handle user data in the future.
