What is cleared when one choose to Clear All History?

On Chrome the Clear Browsing Data... has a dialog to show to let the users see and choose which browsing data need to be cleared. Min doesn't have such dialog and there is no way one can know which is actually cleared. No way to know and manage it.

No one even care?

Sorry I didn't see this notification the first time. In Min, this clears stored site data (cookies, cache), and the associated history entries.

Compared to Chrome, "download history", "autofill form data", "site settings", "hosted app data" aren't things we save in the first place. Passwords we don't clear, but I don't think it makes much sense to, since the risk of accidentally deleting those is too high. So this would really just be about giving a choice between clearing just cookies or also the history entries, which does seem like a good option to add.
