Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cylonid/NativeAlphaForAndroid/issues/101

I think I searched just about the entire internet before submitting this issue, and somehow I couldn't find a single relevant answer anywhere.

To be clear, I'm not looking to run multiple sandboxed sessions or anything like that. I'd simply like to perform the basic web browser functionality of clearing a site's saved data.

Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cylonid/NativeAlphaForAndroid/issues/101 I think I searched just about the entire internet before submitting this issue, and somehow I couldn't find a single relevant answer anywhere. To be clear, I'm _not_ looking to run multiple sandboxed sessions or anything like that. I'd simply like to perform the _basic web browser functionality_ of clearing a site's saved data.

You are right, clearing a single container's data is not possible in Native Alpha at the moment.

I will consider this for one of the next two releases.

+1 for this feature.
The sole reason I downloaded NativeAlpha was to :

Have Progressive Web Apps in sandboxed containers
Wipe the sandbox upon container close.

Current Workaround :

Enable sandboxing for your desired web app.
When you're done using it and wish to clear cookies, go into the specific web app settings. (swipe from Left → Right).
Under the Sandbox Section, Disable and immediately Re-enable the "Enable Sandbox" toggle.

This re-created the sandbox, effectively wiping cookies. :)

Hope this helps.
🙏
