This is the best summary I could come up with:

If approved by a California federal judge, the settlement could apply to 136 million Google users.

The 2020 lawsuit was brought by Google account holders who accused the company of illegally tracking their behavior through the private browsing feature.

Google would need to address data collected in private browsing mode in December 2023 and earlier.

Google spokesperson José Castañeda said in a statement that the company is “pleased to settle this lawsuit, which we always believed was meritless.” Though the plaintiffs valued the proposed settlement at $5 billion, which was the amount they originally sought in damages, Castañeda said that they are “receiving zero.” The settlement does not include damages for the class, though individuals can file claims.

Part of the agreement includes changes to how Google discloses the limits of its private browsing services, which the company has already begun rolling out on Chrome.

Individuals can still file claims for damages in California state court, according to the settlement terms.
