Bug Description
Currently each installed webapp (facebook, google+, etc) runs the webbrowser-app with a separate cache directory, and each of those seems to consume up to 21MB of disk space. With a large number of webapps, this will grow disk usage quickly.
Since webapps are focused on only a single website, it seems that they could be given less cache space to safe space on the device without having a significant impact on their performance during regular usage.
