Description of the issue:
When deleting a browser profile, we’re informed the data associated with the profile will be deleted, and it emphasizes on the resulting deletion of browsing data and further specifically includes 4 categories of information, namely;
Browsing history
Passwords
Bookmarks
Autofill data
Now, my concern is;
Common sense and the general understanding of English dictates that deletion of a profile’s data is to mean deletion of all data of such profile, including ones not mentioned above. But, the emphasis on the 4 above categories implies, implicitly, the deletion of only such data.
So, I wish to ask, what kind of data, exactly, explicitly, would be deleted?
Do you delete all of the profile’s data (just like if it were InPrivate) or is it just those above 4 categories?
And, now to those who argue this to having been intentioned differently;
Well, intentions do not alter the semantics of a language.
The box is implicit, in nature. It lacks it’s own title to be explicit, and therefore depends on its preceding texts for connotation/context/reference.
The connotation it forms, is that of a biased nature.
It has chosen specific categories, out of many more, to be depicted even when they are empty, suggesting their implicit association to the preceding texts, established above, as being of an absolute nature. (i.e., these are the only categories to be deleted.)
.------------------------------------
Context - Data will be deleted
↓
Emphasis - THIS DATA
↓
Conclusion - THIS DATA will be deleted.
.------------------------------------Or, more specifically, these→ are the →only categories→ to be considered in the context →[implicit association]→ of it’s →preceding text→ which→ is on the subject of →deletion.
And, if they, by chance, happen to not be empty, the connotation would then be them being the only browsing data to have been recorded.
- .------------------------------------
Context - Data will be deleted
↓
Emphasis - THIS DATA, WHICH has been recorded
↓
Conclusion - THIS DATA, WHICH has been recorded, will be deleted.
.------------------------------------All in all, the bias leads to unintentional implicit remarks.
Remarks, which are unaffected by the writer’s intentions. A miscommunication, with unintentional consequences.
A mistake.
How can this issue be reproduced?

- Open a new window through the right-click options of Brave, in Windows taskbar.
- Go to delete the new profile.
Expected result:
You should see the following message:
