A class action was filed against Google on Tuesday, accusing the tech giant of invading the privacy of millions of users without their knowledge by tracking internet use even when using private browsing mode.

The class action accuses Google of tracking and collecting consumer browsing history and other web activity data even when using private browsing mode.

The complaint, filed to the District Court of Northern California, claims Google tracks users' browsing data and other identifying information through Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, and various other application and website plug-ins, such as Google applications on mobile devices and the Google Sign-In button for websites regardless of what mode of browsing is chosen.

According to the plaintiffs, when an internet user visits a webpage or opens an app that uses Google's services, which are allegedly used by over 70% of all online publishers, the user's personal information, such as the user's IP address, what the user is viewing, what the user last viewed, and details about the user's hardware are sent to the company's servers in California.

Idk vpn wont help you if you are logged into your gmail account.

Remember google could just simply collect browser connections from their search engine to a webpage, along with search engine results and correlate that to your gmail account.

Even if you are masking your initial connections, heck they will probably be able to tell if you are using vpn or not based off of where your public ip is originating from regularly
