Please, add this feature in privacy setting. Most privacy browser has this feature. Also, it would be better if we could set exception for certain sites. I saw this feature in Duckduckgo (It’s called fireproof there) and I loved it. It allows you to keep your browsing record clean without logging out of your frequently visited sites. ---

Just like the desktop browser, Android needs this feature. Currently, on Android, we must click menu\>settings\>privacy\>clear browsing data\>All time dropdown\>All time\>Close. Way too much trouble! ---

Right. And I often forget to do that. I just close my browser and move on to do other things. ---

I have to erase like 500 mb of data all days. This feature could help a lot. ---

I was thinking about post this feature also, but you got first! 🙂 Needed ASAP for android browser app! Its a great feature on desktop browser and its missing from android browser app! I was frustrated right away that AUTO CLEAR cookies and data and history on EXIT is missing on android app but it’s on desktop version. ---

‘Delete browsing data on exit’ feature like in firefox would be nice. They should rename ‘exit’ option to ‘clear and exit’ ![Screenshot_20210427-155822](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/f/d/fd8b9bbd5b95986e67252b43151fb09dd60d804e.png) ---

I just came here to request similar. I’d been using DDG as my ‘default’ browser on Android, because most of the time I don’t care about retaining history on mobile. Chrom\* browsers such as Brave conveniently will provide a notification you can tap, to close all Private windows, which is great – as long as you remember to do it. Having a time-based, auto-close/erase feature like DDG would be fantastic. And of course, being able to use Private mode as a default would be great also. If Brave could present Private mode as another browser ‘app’ somehow that would be ideal, because then anytime you want to associate a browser with a certain function, you could choose whether to use Private mode or standard mode. (Not sure if that’s achievable on Android from a single app.)
