@Samue1,
This is a known issue that was just recently resolved:

## Description Follow up to https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/26097 There are two problems when going to `brave://settings/clearBrowserData` --> `On exit`: 1. The option to save whatever data types are selected is grayed out and cannot be selected: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3299098/202271699-29c5ef6a-d5ba-4051-9282-29eaf9d0f067.png) 2. The option displays `Save` rather than `Clear data ` as it did previously. I'm not clear on whether or not this was intentional (but I do think it makes more sense this way, since you're not actually clearing data on that click). ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Visit `brave://settings/clearBrowserData` --> `[On exit]` 2. Select a data type to be cleared on exit 3. Observe `Save` button ## Reproduces how often: Always ## Brave version (brave://version info) v1.45.127 ## Version/Channel Information: - Can you reproduce this issue with the current release? Yes - Can you reproduce this issue with the beta channel? Yes - Can you reproduce this issue with the nightly channel? Yes ## Miscellaneous Information: Internal discussion: https://bravesoftware.slack.com/archives/C02DT9F5EP5/p1666647065097729 Community report: https://community.brave.app/t/brave-not-deleting-history-and-no-option-to-save-on-exit-settings/441397/7

The fix is in Beta now and should be landing in Brave stable in the next browser update.
