Delete browser cache upon opening or closing Vivaldi

[pelaird]

I have searched this forum and the Vivaldi settings for a way to delete the browser cache upon opening or closing Vivaldi. So, my question is whether this is possible natively with Vivaldi or do I need an extension. If I need an extension, does anyone have recommendations?

Thank you for your replies.

I've always thought that "Clear browsing data on exit" should be an available option with Vivaldi.
I know it is with my other Chromium-based browser.
Since I've never used an extension to do that, maybe someone else can suggest something.

Where can i find it in Chromium 127/128?
Which browser except Edge has it?

@DoctorG
in edge under settings - privacy or edge://settings/privacy

@derDay I know Microsoft Company added their own implementation. They have many customers paying and a large dev team.

Less complaints, more practicality and action!

Before complaining insistently, always ask yourself this question:

Why were extensions invented?

Use extension Clear Cache:

The code for this already exists in Vivaldi, so there just needs to be a setting to execute this code on startup.

Here are some example of existing ways to execute the deletion of the cache.

How many “settings” do the 3 million users have, which would be “very easy” to implement?

The concept of extensions is not only used in browsers, it is used as plug-ins in all relevant and widely used software.

Of the software I use, these use it:

Calibre
MPC-BE
Notepad++
FreeCommander

And if we go to the extreme, all the software used in Windows OS is nothing but plug-ins.

Specificity leads to excellence.

Tell me a feature of any of the existing browsers that has a better UI and more powerful than the best extension that does the same thing?

Thanks for your reply.

I was not complaining. I just asked a legitimate question about the ability to clear the cache on opening or closing the browser.

I looked at you suggestion and even installed it, however, it does not meet my needs. It tries to be all thing to all people, and all I want is to clear the cache. You actually have to purchase the PLUS version to accomplish what I want to achieve.

MS Internet Explorer had this option many years ago. It shouldn't be that difficult to implement.

Vivaldi is all about customization and the main reason I use it. I left Firefox in 2016 for Vivaldi and never looked back.

I'll just live what I have until the dev's decide to implement this feature.

It's certainly a privacy issue that I don't trust to 3rd party plug-ins.....
