Some part of the browser Cache / Web Storage is never cleaned

This is a bad error as it can't be cleaned with "Clean Cache" button in system UI and it's not skipped during backup.

I just discovered more than 800MB(!) of data in the webview cache which is not cleaned in version 5.1.0. The largest portion I found here:

apps/acr.browser.lightning/r/app_webview/Default/Service Worker/CacheStorage
782M    Service Worker/CacheStorage

I consider this a serious privacy issue which probably originates from webview package. Since the browser is focused on privacy there should be a way to clean the cache also physically, not just the database.

Also, the complete download history remains in file

apps/acr.browser.lightning/f/downloads.html

even after cleaning cache / web content.
