**Summary:** The report covers Google’s quiet update to Chrome’s Incognito mode disclaimer—rolled out in Canary—to explicitly state that websites and Google services may still collect user data in Incognito, a change influenced by a $5B class-action settlement over alleged undisclosed tracking. It underscores that Incognito is not anonymous, highlights legal context from U.S. court decisions, and includes expert advice urging use of privacy-centric browsers and anti-tracking tools for better protection.
