PLEASE add a 'Clear History on Exit" function to Edge Chromium
Ok, so here I am in the latest version of Edge Can (Version 77.0.223.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)) and I head on over to settings/Privacy and services/Clear browsing data/Choose what to clear every time you close the browser.
I make all my selections Browsing History, Cookies and other site data, Cached images and files.
Now before I close my browser to test this I go here..
Then head back to here....
Then to be safe and make sure no cookies and such would still be there I go here and turn off all settings..
I close Edge/Can down and wait about 2 minutes and then restart it. I go back to the settings for clearing on exit only to find this....
Now why in the world would there be any cookies or what have you, when all I did was start the browser and open to the new tab page which is blank other than the search bar.. Now there is either something I'm not getting or this is a bug and it is not clearing anything.....

Ok, Updated to the newest version of Can (Version 77.0.227.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)) and still have this problem... I start browser, make sure I log into Nothing, clear everything just like I show in the photos in prier post and still,
I start Edge Can and it opens to here....
I sign into/log into NOTHING and I go immediately to the settings page and find this
Now how is this possible? How can I have cookies and other site data from 13 sites and 3.1MB from Cached images and files when I've gone nowhere and signed into nothing, not even into this forum???
What's not working or am I missing something?

Thanks for helping us test this new feature! I'm sorry to hear it's not working as expected for you.
Do you have any extensions installed? They might also be adding to your cookie count. To have a better idea of where these cookies are coming from, you can visit edge://settings/siteData to see a complete list of cookies in your browser.
Do you mind sending us feedback from the :) if this is still an issue? That way we can get more info into what's happening. Thanks again!
You are correct. It is mostly from the 6 extensions I have installed... Here are a couple of pictures, first with no extensions and 2nd with the 6 extensions installed and working...
No extensions
with all 6 extensions
Never had given it a thought that the extensions would have so many cookies and such..
Thanks

Is there a way to set this via Group Policy? I haven't found a corresponding option there to delete every or something on browser exit.

Hi Shirley,
Yes I did have extensions installed so this time I removed/disabled them from loading at start up cleared everything then followed the steps I did before and same results, though not as many cookies and such. I sent a 🙂 with a link to these posts so anyone can check it all out...
ThanksDennis5mile ShirleyNg
Surely what you are seeing is simply the basics loaded when the browser first starts? It'll be bing.com, msn.com etc., as they are the default search and home pages.
That would be normal behaviour.
