Google is likely to receive a $5 billion fine for tracking users in incognito mode (in Chrome)

Google is currently facing a significant legal challenge as it has been sued for a staggering $5 billion for allegedly tracking users while they browse in incognito mode. The incognito mode, designed to protect user privacy, was intended to allow people to surf the web without leaving traces of their activity. However, the lawsuit claims that Google continued to collect personal data, which has surprised many users and outraged privacy advocates. The goal of the lawsuit is not only to seek compensation but also to force Google to change its data protection practices. If the court finds these allegations valid, it could lead to serious financial and reputational consequences for the company. For users, this situation highlights the importance of understanding how their data is collected and used, even when they believe they are browsing incognito.
