With this likely to be well over a million users, and if you are one of them, then if successful the class action could pocket you $5,000 for your trouble and cost Google north of $5 billion (£4 billion) in damages. The proposed class-action lawsuit is seeking damages of at least $5,000 (£4,000) for each user who has browsed the internet in incognito mode since June 1, 2016.

Many people misunderstand the term private and, without properly reading the terms and conditions, some will not realize that they are legally handing over a lot of personal data. Incognito modes tend not to record data onto the device, but this data still goes to your internet service provider, and some data goes to the website you are visiting.
