My ~/.cache/epiphany/WebKitCache is 635.9 MB large: * 449.9 MB in the Version 10 directory * 186.0 MB in the Version 11 directory Did we leak the Version 10 directory? At any rate, each directory is supposed to be limited to something less than that, right? We must have a cache leak yet again.

Hi Michael, As you suggested I'm adding my experience with WebKitCache, in my case application using webkit is liferea (development branch using webkit2). But maybe there is something wrong with my initial observation, or I don't understand the difference, size differs when checked with graphical file manager (thunar) and with 'du', but file/object count matches (11351): thunar shows ~490M for ~/.cache/liferea/WebKitCache/Version\ 10/, while 'du' says ~270M. I'm running net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.14.3

This is still a big problem. When I checked last week before accidentally deleting my cache, I left a note to myself that my Version 12 directory was 458 MB large.

Still broken. My Version 14 directory is currently 8.4 GB large.
