Can you add an option to remove the 90 days limits on stored history in centbrowser? The vivaldi browser, which is also based in chromium, have an option to keep history forever. So it's possible to remove this limitation in Chromium. Please do this. Thanks!
Hi "complii",
What additional benefit would it be for you to add a time limit called "Last 90 days" to the options of deleting the existing browsing history in the Cent Browser?
As far as I know, there are the following options in the advanced settings of the Cent Browser:
- Privacy and security > Clear browsing data (The time interval is specified as "Last 1 hour - Last 24 hours - Last 7 days - Last 4 weeks - All")
- Privacy and security > Clear browsing data on exit
- Privacy and security > Content settings > Cookies > 'Allow (or block) sites to save and read cookie data' and 'Keep local data only until you quit your browser'
If you do not enable the "Clear browsing data on exit" option, the time limit options set between 1 hour and endless for the "Clear browsing data" function are no longer important. Because, regardless of the time limit, any data about the browsing history will not be deleted on exit...
...
Yes, as you said, Vivaldi has the ability to determine the browsing history storage period; but this is a feature added to deceive users. Because:
As far as I know, the lower limit of storage period was 1 week in older versions; but I think that Vivaldi users have over reacted to this long time and thus the time limit has been later changed to "Session only".
Now, in Vivaldi, do an experiment like this:
- In the "Settings" window of Vivaldi: Select "Session only" from the "Save Browsing History" options! And select "Session Only" or "Never" from the "Accept Cookies" options!
- Type a specific word in the search box and search! Click on one of the search results listed on the first page, then close Vivaldi;
- Reopen Vivaldi, search for the same word again, and look carefully at the list of search results! You will see that the color of the object you clicked in the previous session is different (purplish) from the others in the new list.
This means that Vivaldi has not deleted your browsing history on exit. If you look at the history window to verify this, you will see that it is empty and that the object that appears to be purple in your search list is not there. Now you are absolutely sure that Vivaldi is trying to hide this act from you and to deceive you.
(If you want to do a real browsing history cleaning in Vivaldi, you'll need to access the original Chromium settings hidden in Vivaldi and perform manual cleaning using the "Clear browsing data" option.)
In addition, Vivaldi's following action is another example of complete fraud and malevolence:
The original Chromium settings in Vivaldi can only be reached by typing "chrome://settings" in the address bar and clicking Enter; They do not deliberately put the original Chromium settings in Vivaldi's usual settings window, because they are trying to prevent ordinary users from accessing it. Because they don't want users to make any setting changes that would prevent Vivaldi from collecting private information.
As a result, Vivaldi is one of the most unreliable browsers that violate user privacy...

May I know why you want to keep history for so long?
I do lots of online readings for my job and often I need to refer back to articles months or even years back. I use the history search to look up for those pages and it also tells me when the last time I read those articles, which is very important for references and such.
I used Firefox, which keeps history forever as far as I know. But Firefox isn't up to the task anymore and I switched to Vivaldi a couple months back. But Vivaldi is very finicky and slow sometime.
Would be really good if you could do this.

Actually, the new topic that has been launched above and the useless request for the addition of new feature to Cent is not my care at all, because
I do not want to use a browser that is swollen and very slow because the browsing history is not cleaned for months; even if it is necessary for my job.
By the way, the Chromium bugs discussion page you gave its link above is based on 3 years ago. If
90 days (Three Months) limit for history mentioned there is still valid today, this indicates that Vivaldi is making a new fraud in addition to the frauds I have mentioned above, because in the
"Settings > Privacy" window you have the option to storage period for the browsing history logs as
"Forever", so not only up to
"Three Months".
Yes, browsing history database has impact on performance because it gets bloated quickly.
Unlike Cookies, it always adds new items instead of overwriting existed items.
