Privacy Statistics Cannot be Reset
-
Hi, folks.
Noticed some minor issue on Vivaldi 5.3. I cannot swear that the same issue did not exist on 5.2 as well; but it is definitely present on 5.3.
How to reproduce:
On the Speed Dial page, go to Privacy Statistics. Click on Reset Statistics.
All displayed counters will be 0 now.Now close Vivaldi.
After a few seconds start up Vivaldi again.
Have a look at the Privacy Statistics. All the old numbers are back, as if Reset Statistics had never been clicked on.
Environment:
Vivaldi 5.3.2679.51 (Stable channel) stable (64-Bit)
MX Linux 19.4 xfce 64-bit.Can anyone reproduce the reported issue?
Regards,

I'm on Vivaldi 6.6.3271.45 and I just started experiencing this problem. I'm willing to help you with troubleshooting if it's needed.
Sorry for resurrecting this thread from the dead but this is a rather serious hit on privacy if someone have access to your machine and despite cleaning history, part of it still is visible as privacy statistics.

Privacy stats are cleared by "Reset Statistics" button and after exiting Vivaldi 6.6.3271.45 the related database is emptied.
-
@DoctorG Closed bug as it can not be reproduced with 6.6.3271.45.

@Barthez How do you see privacy stats is no cleared?

I'm experiencing this on Windows. Clear stats and restart Vivaldi, stats are still there.

@MoonDoggWork Can confirm this.
Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker. Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail. Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better. -
@MoonDoggWork After reset stats the wrong count gone in a new tab.

@DoctorG Are you asking me, or telling me? Mine are not gone in a new tab.

Hi guys,
It seems Reset Statistics doesn't work on Vivaldi 6.7.3329.21! Same behavior as described by @karlchen58.
