<ul></ul><p>In case it wasn't obvious, one of the abilities of this feature will be to entirely disable the web cache.</p> Privacy Browser Android - Feature #34: WebView Cache Controlshttps://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/34?journal_id=34842023-11-03T01:21:17Zask low
<ul></ul><p>Great. Although I've been having the same practice by softlinking directories either to tmpfs or /dev/null, such as $HOME/.cache, Service worker, GPUShaderCache, Sessions, Local/Session storage, History, etc. Works for all kinds of chromium based browsers. Some, I point to tmpfs instead of /dev/null, caz there are some that cause breakage on nullifying.</p>
<p>Although, I still have to add lot more directories into the mix, that I'm not aware of can be done.</p> Privacy Browser Android - Feature #34: WebView Cache Controlshttps://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/34?journal_id=37832024-01-11T06:05:33Zask low

<p>Then I've mistaken your words which were for the PC variant I guess.<br />Btw, as for softlinking these to /dev/null a good practice ? Or am I doing something wrong?<br />If that's not a good practice, I'll stop doin it & revert them back.</p>
<p>Btw, I've disabled all clear toggles in settings. Clear & Exit for me, is only executed when I close all tabs.</p> Privacy Browser Android - Feature #34: WebView Cache Controlshttps://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/34?journal_id=37842024-01-11T06:10:08ZSoren Stoutnersoren@stoutner.com
<ul></ul><p>I don't know if it causes any problems or not. Generally, WebView will just make a new request for information if it can't find it in the cache. But I am not sure if not finding it in the cache is always the same experience as reading from /dev/null.</p>
<p>You can test it out either way. As long a WebView doesn't misbehave there shouldn't be any problem with it.</p> Privacy Browser Android - Feature #34: WebView Cache Controlshttps://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/34?journal_id=37852024-01-11T06:15:36Zask low
