Google to Settle Lawsuit Over Tracking Users with Private Browsing

Alphabet's Google has agreed to settle a lawsuit claiming it secretly tracked the internet use of millions of people who thought they were doing their browsing privately. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California, put a scheduled Feb. 5, 2024 trial in the proposed class action on hold after lawyers for Google and for consumers said they had reached a preliminary settlement.
