Mballas,


No.


Safari Preferences, General, has the ability to select a few options in "Clear History," including daily and longer periods. There is not a choice, however, to Clear History upon Exiting. The History pull-down menu has a Clear History and Website Data choice at the bottom, but there are no keystroke options given to invoke it quickly (and it also deletes all cookies); this option is also available under the Safari pull-down menu.


An Option you might have overlooked -- when opening Safari, rather than just using the default new Window, close the initial and then File | New Private Window. Safari will not keep the history or any new cookies until you close that Private Window and open a new window. (No, it doesn't seem possible to make a Private Window the default new window.)


If you happen to find another way to clear automatically upon exiting, please update this thread. Thanks.
