### Description:
New implementation of auto-close tabs, setting doesn't clearly specify when the tabs are auto-closed based on setting. Right now it only closes when you kill the app and restart but this isn't obvious.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Set auto-close tabs to one day
2. Keep browser active/background
3. Wait for a day to go by
3. Without restarting the browser tabs wont auto-close
**Actual result:**
Tabs don't auto close until browser is restarted manually
**Expected result:**
Add a note to indicate the behaviour is based on manual restart even though tabs can be set to close "automatically" after a specified time
**Reproduces how often:** [Easily reproduced, Intermittent Issue]
Easy
**Brave Version:**
1.26
**Device details:**
All
**Website problems only:**
- did you check with Brave Shields down? NA
- did you check in Safari/Firefox (WkWebView-based browsers)? NA
