## Description
Follow up to https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/26097
There are two problems when going to `brave://settings/clearBrowserData` --> `On exit`:
1. The option to save whatever data types are selected is grayed out and cannot be selected:

2. The option displays `Save` rather than `Clear data ` as it did previously. I'm not clear on whether or not this was intentional (but I do think it makes more sense this way, since you're not actually clearing data on that click).
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Visit `brave://settings/clearBrowserData` --> `[On exit]`
2. Select a data type to be cleared on exit
3. Observe `Save` button
## Reproduces how often:
Always
## Brave version (brave://version info)
v1.45.127

The fix is in Beta now and should be landing in Brave stable in the next browser update.

Thanks for the reply, but the ‘save button’ seems to be of grey colour meaning I cannot complete this solution.
@Samue1 he meant that it’s an issue and they fixed it for the beta version so when you get update for version 1.48.122
or above it will be solved for your case

The new one, I re-installed it. But now I fixed my favorite browser, so I may not be using it.
