Google is updating its hidden mode disclaimer to reflect the previously unmentioned data collection practices causing the issue.
This came after the search giant agreed to pay $5 billion in exchange for a settlement related to tracking hidden user activity in the Chrome browser.
The updated incognito mode page appears in the Canary version of Chrome for Android, Windows, and other platforms.
In 2020, Google faced a class-action lawsuit demanding $5 billion for secretly collecting user data through its services.
Prosecutors told the court that the company used tools such as analytics products, apps and browser extensions to monitor users.
They also argue that Google gives people the false idea that they control what information they want to share, even though it secretly tracks users.
Google denied the allegations, saying they showed that the websites were collecting data in a hidden pattern that was not clear in the disclaimer itself.
The company redesigned the hidden mode page to make it more visible, but that didn't help.
Google has agreed to settle the lawsuit for $5 billion, which may happen in February.
The search giant now wants to be transparent about the practices of websites and Google itself when it comes to data collection in hidden mode and is rewording its warnings.
Chrome's new incognito mode explains: "Other users on this device can't see your activity, allowing you to browse privately. This doesn't change how data is collected by the websites you visit and services you use, including Google." Save your downloads, bookmarks, and reading list items.
It's important to note that Incognito Mode is not anonymous mode and that websites you visit (including Google) may collect data and track you.
