- gcb0 12y agodid you disable cache somehow? open a bunch of ssl pages and see app data space explode. same happens with firefox
- nkozyra 12y agoI did not disable cache and it shows a large amount of cache data. But the post I responded to claimed 189MB of app data.
- AjithAntony 12y agoThe cache doesn't seem relevant but I could test that. Presently my breakdown is 189MB+21MB , App+data, and 13MB Cache. Uninstalled. Reinstalled. (play store reports 30MB download) Before opening the app 65MB+4KB, 0MB cache First launch (no sync sign-in) 65MB + 10MB, 60KB cache Browsed Noisy SSL page (google plus feed): 65MB + 14MB, 13MB cache Signed into sync: no change ( 10min later, no change) Browsed image heavy site (imgur): 65MB + 14MB, 25MB cache Does chrome store the old versions on upgrade? That would perfectly explain why my fresh install is 64MB, and my older isntall was 3x that size.

- derefr 12y agoIt does on the desktop: Omaha, a.k.a. Google Updater, follows a "keep a few recent versions around and just symlink the current one" model to enable atomic upgrades and rollbacks of failed upgrades. If Android Chrome manages its own updates, it's likely using Omaha for them.
- kitd 12y agoLikewise on my Moto G running 4.4.4. 65Mb app 22Mb data = 87Mb total Cache is recorded separately, currently at 205Mb. I wonder if it is a question of how the figures are being displayed in different versions of Android.
