Google has agreed to settle a massive $5 billion lawsuit that accused the embattled tech giant of improperly tracking the personal data of millions of people who used its Chrome browser’s incognito mode, lawyers said Thursday.

Lawyers from both sides said they had signed a binding term sheet as part of the mediation process and would submit the agreement for final approval by a federal judge in Oakland, Calif., no later than Feb. 24, 2024.

Does it mean that they will stop tracking people?

Thy will continue and sell the info. Whatever they are doing is well worth it for them. These corps have way more power than the govts and it's sad. Shit some of the info they either give or sell to the gov. This shit all smoke and mirrors.
