Hello,
Edge Version 79.0.309.30 (Official build) beta (64-bit)
I'm trying to create a custom master_preferences files to customize clear browser data on exit for new user profiles.
My configuration file looks like this :
So I look into the user profile and find my Settings (Preferences files):
... "caretbrowsing":{"enabled":false},"clear_data_on_exit":{"browsing_history":false,"cache":true,"cookies":true,"download_history":false,"form_data":true,"hosted_apps_data":true,"passwords":true,"site_settings":true},"countryid_at_install":16965, ...
Now, I manually change one of the settings :
Then have a look at the preferences files
"browser":{"available_dark_theme_options":"All","clear_data_on_exit":{"cookies":true},"dark_theme":false,
... <Skip some lines>
"caretbrowsing":{"enabled":false},"clear_data_on_exit":{"browsing_history":false,"cache":true,"cookies":true,"download_history":false,"form_data":true,"hosted_apps_data":true,"passwords":true,"site_settings":true},"countryid_at_install":16965,
So, we have to occurrences of clear_data_on_exit in the preferences file. And only values from the first occurrence are taken into account.
For me it looks like a bug (file parsing /update).
Can you confirm that :
- The syntax of my master_preferences is correct
- The issue can be reproduced
Kind regards,
Michel

Hello,
You must enable the data cleanup and select what do you want to clear.
"browser": {
...
"clear_data": {
"on_exit_succeeded": false
},
"clear_data_on_exit": {
"browsing_history": true,
"cache": true,
"cookies": true,
"download_history": true,
"form_data": true,
"hosted_apps_data": true,
"passwords": true
},
...
}
It is work for me.
