Public bug reported:

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.
