The tech giant has agreed to the process to settle a multibillion-dollar lawsuit.

Google has agreed to delete billions of records containing personal information collected from millions of people through its Chrome web browser

The lawsuit accuses Google of tracking Chrome users’ internet activity even when they had switched the browser to “Incognito” mode, a setting which is supposed to shield a user from being tracked. While Google is supporting the deal, it disputes the claims as “meritless”, and said it was only required to “delete old personal technical data that was never associated with an individual and was never used for any form of personalisation”.
