Chrome updates Incognito warning to admit Google tracks users in “private” mode


Warning added to Chrome Canary as Google settles Incognito class-action suit.

The change is being made as Google prepares to settle a class-action lawsuit that accuses the firm of privacy violations related to Chrome's Incognito mode. We asked Google when the warning will be added to Chrome's stable channel and whether the change is mandated by or related to the pending settlement of the privacy class-action suit. Incognito mode in Chrome will continue to give people the choice to browse the Internet without their activity being saved to their browser or device."
