To settle a class-action dispute over Chrome's "Incognito" mode, Google has agreed to delete billions of data records reflecting users' private browsing activities.

In a statement provided to Ars, users' lawyer, David Boies, described the settlement as "a historic step in requiring honesty and accountability from dominant technology companies." Based on Google's insights, users' lawyers valued the settlement between $4.75 billion and $7.8 billion, the Monday court filing said.
