    Oh great they get to collect and make money off of “anonymous technical data” for years, and their punishment for doing all that is to delete the data, and swear they won’t collect anymore of it for the next few years??

    They already made their money off of people’s data! This isn’t a meaningful punishment, hell it’s barely a slap on the wrist.

    Or, hear me out, maybe switch to Firefox ?

    When caring about the privacy of your data, using a software made by the biggest data collector might be a bad idea…

    “We’re sorry we got caught. We’ll delete what we shouldn’t possess.”

    Sounds like accountability.

    And who is going to verify they deleted it and how are they deleting it?

    Is it about time we get analysts that monitor these companies from the inside?

    and must delete the browser signals that indicate when private browsing mode is active, to prevent future tracking.

    Thinking how will they do that? Is private browsing sending some additional headers?
