Ever Increase App Size

[theintel]

The ultra light browser Via is awesome. And I love this specific browser even more than Chrome.

The issue that I've been experiencing lately is that the app size increases as I browse, and it keeps increasing. I tried cleaning everything with the options in the settings, no good news though. The 900kB app data reaches 16 + MB within 4 days and keeps increasing.

Is it normal? Can you suggest anything helpful to keep the size as less as possible?

Are you talking about app data or about full size?(If it's full size it's probably just cache).

[theintel]

No no, I clean cache once in a while. Via has problem with cleaning browsing data, like not clearing images loaded from pages after exit.
I'm rooted and loking at /data/data/mark.via.go it seems like the app_webview directory gets populated with unnecessary stuff. Thus a 1.5MB app reaches 10MB in size and keeps increasing.

Well for me app size is 1.5 MB, user data takes 2.8 MB and cache 19.8 MB.

Clear the cache every day, or turn on clear the cache when exit in settings.

Clear the cache every day, or turn on clear the cache when exit in settings.

Tried that. Still it can't clear the cache reliably 😑
