Description
As it is now, any data type that is checked in the Clear browsing data --> [On exit] will have all data of that type removed upon closing the browser. While this is the intended function, we should implement a function similar to what Microsoft Edge does, where site exceptions can be added to a "Do not clear" list. Data on this list is ignored when the browser runs "clear on exit":
This would help users maintain login data for sites they regularly visit and not have to re-authenticate every time data is erased. Additionally, this helps with support, since clearing browsing data often resolves issues with bad cache data -- having the ability to suggest users do this, but without sacrificing specific data they know they want would be very useful and appreciated by users
