WebView produces a lot of garbage in cache
Apps using WebView (e.g.Jelly) are collecting a lot of garbage in their app_webview/BrowserMetrics directory, which never gets deleted. I just manually deleted several hundred MB in seveal apps. Installing AndroidSystemWebview Beta 87.0.4280.86 from Play Store solves the problem.
Same on osprey, probably a platform issue

Possible Solution
Update internal WebView from 86.0.4240.198 to 87.0.4280.86
Steps to Reproduce

- check BrowserMetrics directory in /data/data/org.lineageos.jelly/app_webview
- kill Jelly
- start Jelly again and open page
- Every time a new file is created in BrowserMetrics and never deleted
