Disable "Clear on Exit" by default + more control
See original GitHub issueDescription
Brave for Android will have Clear on exit option with 1.26.x release, but this setting is enabled by default when users upgraded from prev. version. To avoid user confusions, please disable this setting by default.
Also, please provide more control about which type of data cleared on exit – basically more option like desktop. The current switch is unclear as it’s only to enable/disable. User don’t know which data selected/cleared.
Steps to reproduce
- Install Brave Beta 1.25.x
- Upgrade to 1.26.x
- Check the above setting
Actual result
Clear on exit switch enabled by default
Expected result
The setting is disabled by default

Yes, default should be OFF
ON clears everything “Clears all browsing data”. In a later release we will look to add more options here should we get user feedback.
Thanks

Users must have control over which browsing data they want to clear. If a user wants to clear their browsing history on exit, it doesn’t necessarily mean they want cookies gone as well. For example, clearing browsing history won’t sign users out of websites every time they close the browser, whereas clearing cookies will.
One more reason not to enable the feature by default: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/16217
It’s very unlikely users will enjoy having to re-adjust Shields settings every time they open the browser.
