Google is accused of tracking you in Chrome in incognito mode

Google's $ 5 billion lawsuit over Chrome incognito tracking

Federal judge in filed a lawsuit against Google on Friday, accusing it of surveillance in Chrome the activities of users in anonymous browsing mode.

According to a Bloomberg report, Google had appealed to the court to dismiss the case, but the judge instead of the case rejected her request. The Reuters had reported about it that the lawsuit seeks compensation of at least $ 5 billion, almost $ 5.000 per user.

Last June, three users filed a lawsuit against the company claiming that its Chrome browser collects data even if you use the private (anonymous) .

In their lawsuit they stated that after you disable data tracking in your browser through anonymous , other Google tools used by websites, transfer your personal information to the company. The petitioners also alleged that the company is engaged in an "intrusive data monitoring business".

A Google spokesman said the company has made it clear that Chrome will not save your activity while browsing in incognito mode, but the sites you visit may collect some of your information.

So in anticipation of the upcoming trial.
