Request: Clear All History "profile" selection

Unread post by back2themoon » 2024-11-28, 22:14

This was sort of inspired by the quoted post below.

Below the "Time range to clear" selection, it'd be helpful to have another "What to clear" selection:

Everything
Persistent script data
(as indicated above... and below)
Custom (user selection - should always be remembered)

I am assuming here (and could be wrong) that "Persistent script data" is not just meant for NoScript issues, but could be used as a way to delete as much as possible, but without touching active logins and website preferences.

Indeed several likely causes.
Old graphics drivers, especially Intel ones, can cause crashes. Even moreso in dual-GPU systems. I'm pretty sure there are newer drivers for both available.
NoScript is known to cause crashes too, even if disabled. We cannot provide support unless you at the very least do the following to try and remedy this:
  1. Complete remove NoScript from the browser (uninstall the add-on)
  2. Remove persistent script data:
    1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Del
    2. Select time range "Everything"
    3. Expand "Details"
    4. Check (only!): Cookies, cache, offline website data, and site connectivity data
      Leave other items unchecked (unless you want to clear those too)
    5. Press "Clear now"
  3. Restart the browser
(I know, no time/resources for this stuff etc. - still letting it out to the wild).
