Delete everything on Exit.
-
Vivaldi used to delete everything when I would close the browser. Now I can't get it to delete all the sites history from the left bar at the bottom that says Window. All my sites continue to stay there under Closed Tabs. I hadn't changed anything in my setting, it just stopped working. So tonight I went through every option and set up I could think of in the settings, and no matter how I set it up, nothing changes. I need this fixed, please help.
Another strange thing is that now I can not log into Vivaldi community to write this using the Vivaldi browser. It gives this message when I attempt to log in. I have to use FF or Brave to log in. I made a new password and it still errors out on Vivaldi. According to Vivaldi I am up to date.
Vivaldi 3.6.2165.36 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Windows 10 Home = also all up to date.Oops! Internal Error.

@reni I don't read German. The whole time I've been using Vivaldi it never would save closed tabs when I would exit. This would indicate it was never working right? So no it's working as intended by not allowing me to delete my content upon exit like I can with all the other browsers out there? Also the deletion of everything from beginning of time, and including from my search engine is not actually deleting site's I've been to. When doing a search I can still see all the sites I've clicked on as they are in a different color. IU can't seem to get rid of any of this.
I have no viruses. I've ran Malwarebytes, Avast, I've also ran ADWCleaner, CCleaner, JRT, and TDSSKiller. THis is the only borwse that is giving me a problem now. it used to be perfect. I could just exit, and everything would disappear. I worked so well that a few time I exited and lost eveything I was doing. Now I and anyone else who uses this has to click on mulpitple options to even begin removing stuff each session? Sounds like I am done with this Browser then. It was a good run while it worked for me for the last couple years.

@Jiansarys The linked thread in German refers to the length of the closed tabs list. It used to be limited to 25 tabs, which some users complained was insufficient, so they increased the limit to 100 tabs. Now it is so long that it overflows the screen. I reported this bug as:
(VB-75088) Closed Tab List is Too Long
It would be better if the list cascaded and if users could set the number of tabs to what they want, say up to 999.
The other bug is that Closed Tabs are not removed from history when you opt to save the browsing history for the current session only. This may be intentional, otherwise users would complain about losing tabs on accidentally closing the browser.
The workaround is to use Delete Browsing data from the Tools menu. I would prefer it to clear the closed tabs list automatically on exit. It is a privacy issue.

@Pesala But there is no other option besides Current Session Only. That is the least they give you. There is no delete upon exit. So it's either 1 day or session. I need it gone immediately, not per session, or day, wekk, month etc. I just tested everything in Brave, Chrome, and Firefox, and they all completely delete everything upon exit. So why would Vivaldi leave out this privacy part of their browser? Privacy is one of the most important facvtors in choosing a web browser.

@Jiansarys , I use this extension, it delete everything you want with one click.

@Catweazle Ty, I'm just going to drop Vivaldi til they catchup with other browsers in this feature. I'll just use it once quarterly to see if they implemented it yet. I'm not looking for extra steps and extensions when Firefox, Brave, and the others already haveit. Shame, because I really loved my Vivaldi (while it was broken). I'm told it was never a feature, but I never had this problem with it, so I can only assume my vivaldi was broken, yet working just like I wanted it to. lol Back to FireFox it is. Thanks again.

@Jiansarys I fail to see what is so hard about pressing Ctrl+Shift+Delete and clicking OK before you leave your PC.

This is not a specific vivaldi way of doing things,all chromium based browsers do it by chromium design.
The browser cache is perpetually being built when the browser is being used and i for one do not see the point in clearing the cache on every exit as it is then being rebuilt upon opening again.Chromium by design uses and relies on caching for it's speed increases.
I suspect your issue is with session cookies not being deleted upon exit.
I prefer to clear the cache manually. -

It depends on where the browser is used. Home or school or office. -
