Dev channel update to 83.0.478.5 is live
Canary seems to be the most reliable at consistently clearing for me and only after I uninstalled and reinstalled the browser. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Dev on one machine and not another. Neither seems to be very reliable at clearing. The only items that typically don't clear for me are Cookies and Cached Images & Files. I noticed one day this week that it sometimes appears that the browser crashes on close instead of closing. I'm wondering if that prevents the clearing. I just find it very strange that I noticed it quit working after the setting to maintain some cookies at close was added. I've been trying to remember to manually clear the data when I notice it not clearing automatically. I really wish it was reliable as before.
So I originally got around the problem by updating to the Dev 84 build (I believe it was 84.0.516.1) and that worked fine for a few days until... I started getting notices of a new build (84.0.522.5) and then after updating (why wouldn't I? Everything was working fine...) it's stopped clearing caches and logging me out again. Just as before with 83.
I really like this browser but this is now the second time over two versions that they've broken this functioning "feature" in updates.
