The company took this step as part of a settlement of a class action lawsuit filed in 2020.
The tech giant was then accused of illegally collecting data from users in the United States who accessed the Internet through the Chrome browser, even when this happened in Incognito mode.
Since then, the company has made many changes to its browser, and Google recently added protection against malicious sites to Chrome, with a focus on user privacy.
But nevertheless, the company had to work through the courts to eliminate shortcomings, many of which constantly came to the attention of experts and the media.
In a case involving billions of improperly collected records containing the personal information of more than 136 million users, the company has pledged to destroy the material.
Under the terms of the settlement, Google, in addition to deleting billions of records from data centers, will have to more clearly communicate the degree of privacy that is available to the user when using incognito mode.
Also, the latest Chrome updates have already added a feature that is enabled by default and blocks all third-party cookies in incognito mode.
