@leocg Thank you for the suggestion, Since I never use private tabs , I had no idea.
I went and opened the browser and tried the private window and they were all still there.
Perhaps I was vague in my request

Basic, Privacy protection,
Block ads and surf the web up to three times faster,
Manage exceptions
** this is full of sites that say they are exceptions, mostly porn and I have to delete each one manually and thought it would be nice if there was a Clear All button like on some of the other settings**
I believe it is an easy fix and a reasonable request politely asked for.
Its' not the end of the world , I will survive and make do either way, and Hey ! Thanks for responding to the new guy
