Recently closed tabs appearing in browser history even when SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled is enabled

Reported by andrewim...@gmail.com, Jul 31 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Enable "SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled" via Group Policy or Registry
2. Open browser and open multiple web sites in different tabs
3. Close browser
4. Reopen browser and select "History" and view list of items under "Recently Closed". Entry or entries for "# tabs" (where # is a number) appear and can be selected. 
5. When "# tabs" is selected, it opens recently closed sites. 

What is the expected behavior?
When "SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled" is enabled, no sites should be saved in the history after the browser is closed. 

What went wrong?
Groupings of sites recently closed are appearing in the browser history even after the browser is closed. 

Did this work before? N/A

Assigning to Phil for prioritization. Maybe the history team can help us fix this.

I'll give this a shot.

Comment 7 by mad@chromium.org, Dec 11 

So I have a fix, but I want to confirm that we are OK with a small difference of behavior with regular history.

The regular history stops adding elements to the history as soon as the policy is set to disable. Which means, even within a session (i.e., without closing the browser), the history elements are not available. Although this is not quite true, since they are available for backward and forward navigation in the tab history. But once the tab is closed, these history elements are not available anymore... Well... Unless the tab is restored with either <Ctrl><Shift>T, or the Recently closed tabs option of this history sub-menu.

So with my current fix, the Recently closed tabs are only flushed when the browser is closed, but are not prevented during the session.

Since the description of the issue mentionned closing the browser, I guess it's OK... Right?

Comment 8 by pastarmovj@chromium.org, Dec 11 

Sounds good to me. It can even be seen as a benefit for the running session to allow "undo".

Comment 9 by andrewim...@gmail.com, Dec 13 

I'm fine with a fix that clears the history when the browser is closed. The expectation is that the history isn't carried over to the next browsing session.
