Google Default Browser Getting To Big!

[Luke Beale]

The default G1 browser is getting to a massive size for an app.
It is 31 megs, is it meant to be that big?
How do I keep it small?

clean out the data, but if you do so it could and will affect other items...

cache/history and cookies are the biggest resource with any browser

from the browser > menu > more > settings

doing it this way will....I learned that the hard way

Doing it the way I described a few posts up will not delete your bookmarks

[kaysesoze]

you can always use mybackup and backup your bookmarks and then clear all data... i might have to try that myself...
I try to use steel cause when you clear cache it pretty much takes it down to less than 1mb

You have several options from the browser menu:

1 - Clear Cache
2 - Clear History
3 - Clear Cookie Data
4 - Clear Form Data

I would recommend #4 as it creates the most space (by deleting more data)
I clear my cache about every 3 days and dont have to worry about that too much, but since i use my G1 to log into some secured/personal sites, my username gets saved (form data), and I dont like it sitting around on my phone unsecured...

Alternatively, you can wipe out everything from the browser app via the "Manage Applications" page by using the "Clear Data" Button. This is the one that will swipe your bookmarks. I highly discourage it, especially if you put a lot of work in the browser already

Ehh yea.. my bad, that'll wipe bookmarks, i didnt think about that, i never use bookmarks, i just bookmark everything in my head...do it thru the browser settings if you dont wanna lose those lol

Mybackup takes care of bookmarks just fine, I wiped my phone and got them back.
