Browser Doesn't Really Delete your History
-
I have found a number of concerning personal information problems with the browser. The biggest problem is that the brwoser doesn't clear your browser history at all. you can find my report on my github page here https://github.com/dtwozero/vivaleak

Seems to be the case.
Tested here usingVivaldi: 1.15.1147.32 (Official Build) snapshot (64-bit)
and this autofill test page.
https://rsolomakhin.github.io/autofill/Thankfully I turn autofill off.
chrome://settings/autofill/
Did you create a bug report?

autofill isn't the only problem.

/home/username/.config/vivaldi/Default/Storage/ext/mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/def/CacheThis directory holds a huge list of data files that store information on every website visited since the browser has been installed and first used. This data also cannot be deleted unless you manually go into the directory and remove the files.
