Description Adrien Plazas 2016-01-24 07:27:13 UTC 
After only a few weeks using Web, I just noticed that I have more than 12Go of WebKitWebProcess-XXXXXX videos in ~/.cache.

That's way too much, especially as I probably won't watch most of them again and that I only have a SSD on my machine.

Web should probably keep its cache in a saner state. Maybe cleaning it up of the oldest videos on startup and every hour could help?

It's WebKit #119477.
