remove 90 days saved history limitation, keep history forever
#2
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...
