 *What size disk caches do other mobile browsers use?
 **Android Browser - Appears to be 6MB according to the source code mirrored at https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/java/android/webkit/CacheManager.java#L60
-***On a rooted Froyo phone, the cache is stored at /dbdata/databases/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache. Experiments confirm the 6MB capacity. Each entry is stored as received from the network, in its own file (there are no block files). The maximum entry size is about 2MB (larger files are not stored).

 **Chrome Mobile (especially interesting given Chrome's similar disk cache implementation) - Can't find anything on this (yet), hopefully will get easier once ICS is released and we can (hopefully) see the config on a running mobile chrome.
 **Opera Mobile (not the crappy "download pre-rendered pages" version) - 10000K according to opera:config (this is 1/2 what the desktop version has by default). Note that Opera also has a separate media cache which defaults to 10x the regular disk cache size.
