You're saying:

to face this issue, Brave Shields needs to be enabled and especially the option "forget me when I leave the page" needs to be enabled.

If you've enabled this option, it is expected that closing the tab will delete all cookies. This has nothing to do with Incognito or Private Window, it's what "forget me when I leave the page" does.

Open Brave Incognito by doing a right click into the taskbar brave icon
Close the Brave Incognito Windows
Open Brave again with the default user profile, the cookies should be deleted, you should recognize it by being logged out

When you open Brave again at this point, do you see your old tabs? Or does it start afresh because you launched a Private Window in between?

Exactly, I can see all the old tabs and the session within the default user profile will be loaded completly successful again.

Launching a private windows and closing it afterwards will delete all the site data of the open tabs within the default user profile.

Brave shield and the option "forget me when I leave the page" believes that the tabs have been closed, as the private window will be started without any tabs, so it thinks the default user session tabs have been closed, but they haven't.

As far as I can result this from the user point of view, I believe that the problem is the architecture of the Brave shield, as they are running within the chrome backend and so it's not depending to the specific user profile, which is currently active. But that's just guessing.

Just a quick update, I want to repro this on my Windows machine which has been finicky, so will get back to this. I can't repro on MacOS.

Hey @ShivanKaul,

any updates on this? I saw some progress in an linked item, but looks like that it's stuck now for a while..

It fell off the radar, we're working on an important anti-fingerprinting fix but should get to this soon.

Hey @ShivanKaul,

any update on this? It looks like, that it's stuck again, at least the development item is waiting for an approval.

Hi guys,

sorry, I really don't want to upset you, but is there any update on this?
