Google Chrome is receiving a new disclaimer for its Incognito mode

Published

on


Google was the target of a class action lawsuit in 2020 that sought $5 billion for using their services to harvest user data when using Incognito Mode. In response, Google made allegations, claiming that while websites do gather data when using Incognito, this is not mentioned in the disclaimer itself. As a part of the settlement agreement to pay $5 billion for tracking users activities in Chrome in Incognito mode, Google is amending the Incognito mode disclaimer to reflect its data gathering methods, which were not disclosed until recently and resulted in legal issues.

It has now been noticed that the revised Incognito sites are now available on Android, Windows, and other platforms in the Canary version of Chrome. As of  what first noticed this update is present in the most recent Google Chrome Canary build version 122.0.6251.0. It appears the firm is developing a new disclaimer for the Chrome Incognito page in order to prevent such issues in the future for users. Google has already experimented with updating this page once before. In 2021, the business developed a more radical makeover that outlined “What Incognito does” and “What Incognito doesn’t do,” although it was never made available to customers.

Google’s privacy policy has been modified to reflect the resolution of this legal conflict, which is fortunately now over. It is noteworthy, however, that this alteration will not be apparent right away. This time, the primary distinction is that the revised disclaimer is now generally accessible in Chrome Canary and enabled by default in both desktop and mobile applications. That suggests that the stable version of Chrome will likely have this shortly. Only the Canary build has access to it at the moment, and it will take some time for the stable version to incorporate it.

Google Play Store Update Enables Simultaneous App Downloads

Published

Over the years, Google has made several improvements to its most crucial application, the Google Play Store, and it constantly provides new utility features and improvements. Now, with the latest development, the company is working on a new capability to handle multiple application downloads.

According to the information, Google is looking to bring a new capability to download multiple applications together. Previously, when you tap on the install button of the applications, it starts downloading them one by one. When one application fully downloads, it starts downloading the second application.

However, it is worth noticing that the phenomenon of multiple downloading is limited to only two applications, meaning if you tap on more than three applications to download, it will start downloading two applications while the third one is still pending.

Additionally, the simultaneous download is limited to the new installs, but it will not apply to the update section. We hope that Google may expand the multiple downloads to update phenomenon and may increase the number of downloads together in the next developments.

As per the information, the new change has already started working on several devices, at least for the Android 14 installed devices with the latest version of the Play Store (40.6.31).
