And fixed with https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/webbrowser-app/cacheLocation/+merge/250730.

However while testing the fix, I observed that oxide writes the
"Cache" directory to ~/.cache/webbrowser-app/ (good), but it still
writes other directories like "GPUCache" and "Local Storage" to
~/.local/share/webbrowser-app/, which looks suspicious to me. At least
it is consistent with what chromium does on my desktop.

ogra, would you mind verifying that the biggest space consumer on your
device is the "Cache" directory for the browser and all webapps?

Thanks,

 Olivier
