This will never generate a meaningful amount of BTC.

Why not? Knowledge is power. All corporations gather it.

Not sure what knowledge being power and corporations have to do with anything, but mining BTC with a workstation hasn't been viable in years. Not to mention mining as a background task in a web browser. This is essentially the cryptotab people organizing a volunteer botnet to mine BTC inefficiently for them.

Users get a free browser, use it for browsing. The organization gets free data, sells it for bitcoins.

That's not how this browser works, it mines bitcoins in the background. The user will pay more in electricity than the piddly btc they generate will be worth, not to mention it'll wear out the hardware in their machine faster. If you want to earn crypto for browsing, use Brave and collect BAT tokens for seeing an occasional ad.

I second BAT, it doesn't make a lot of money but so far they've paid me $12 (depends on the value of BAT) over around 2 months and some of the ads have actually been useful.

Cryptotab, according to Coindesk, can generate $0.07 per day. Or just $2.10 a month

How to clear my browsing data?

If you sync a type of data, deleting it on your computer will delete it everywhere it's synced. It'll be removed from other devices and your Google Account.

It has account synchronization.

Wow, a free browser. I can't wait to stop paying $29.99 a month for my browser.

Read up on mining and the amount of computing power that goes into it, compared to that in your PC.
