标题：谷歌悄悄修改Chrome无痕模式描述，以回应隐私诉讼
近日，谷歌对其Chrome浏览器的无痕模式进行了一次悄然的修改。这一修改出现在最新版本的Chrome Canary（122.0.6251.0）中，旨在回应近期的集体诉讼。此前，谷歌因被指控即使在用户开启Chrome无痕模式后仍非法跟踪浏览活动而遭到集体诉讼。
在更新后的无痕模式描述中，谷歌明确表示：“现在，您便可进行私密浏览了，与您共用此设备的其他用户将不会看到您的活动。但这不会改变您访问的网站和它们使用的服务（包括谷歌）收集数据的方式。但您的下载内容、书签和阅读清单项将会保存在此设备上。”
然而，尽管谷歌在无痕模式通知下方的提示中进行了修改，但并未改变其核心观点，即浏览活动可能仍然会暴露给“你访问的网站”、“你的雇主或学校”以及“你的互联网服务提供商”。这一改动颇为引人注目，因为此前谷歌曾将该通知内容作为证据，证明其已告知用户在无痕模式下仍可能发生哪些类型的跟踪行为。
去年8月，法官Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers驳回了谷歌的简易判决请求，对这一说法并不认可。上个月，谷歌已与原告达成庭外和解协议，将在今年1月提交给法院，预计最终裁决将在2月底前作出。
这次修改无疑表明谷歌正在积极应对之前的隐私诉讼。然而，关于无痕模式的具体功能和其对用户隐私的影响，仍需要进一步的观察和研究。
英语如下：

Content: Title: Google quietly modifies Chrome incognito mode description to respond to privacy lawsuits
Recently, Google has quietly modified its Chrome browser’s incognito mode. This modification appears in the latest version of Chrome Canary (122.0.6251.0), aiming to address recent class action lawsuits. Previously, Google was sued for illegally tracking browsing activities even when users turned on Chrome’s incognito mode.
In the updated description of incognito mode, Google clearly states: “Now you can browse privately, other users sharing this device will not see your activity. However, this does not change the way the websites and services you visit (including Google) collect data. Your downloaded content, bookmarks, and reading list items will be saved on this device.”
However, despite the modification in the notification below the incognito mode, Google did not change its core view that browsing activities may still be exposed to “the websites you visit”, “your employer or school”, and “your internet service provider”. This change is remarkable because Google previously used this notification as evidence to prove that it had informed users about what types of tracking behavior could occur in incognito mode.
Last August, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected Google’s summary judgment request and did not recognize this statement. Last month, Google reached a settlement agreement with the plaintiff outside the court, which will be submitted to the court in January and the final ruling is expected to be made by the end of February.
This modification undoubtedly indicates that Google is actively responding to previous privacy lawsuits. However, the specific functions of incognito mode and its impact on user privacy still need further observation and research.
