Description

Description

Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all windows

Who's implementing?

  • I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

prefs-only-keep-cookies-until-exit.patch recently was removed, and now all websites save data by default. But Chromium didn't remove this feature, it was moved to chrome://settings/content/siteData. Rather than change the default behavior of Ungoogled Chromium, it would be better to update the patch.

Possible solutions

Go to chrome://settings/content/siteData and change Default behavior to 'Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all windows'.

Contributor guide

Research direction
