[feat] Clear Cache

[kn0wmad]

Was working with a user that could not access an onion site that was known to be online. A blank white page came up, suggesting perhaps a caching issue? Lowered security settings to lowest, rebooted phone, reinstalled app, turned off VPN, and the problem persisted. Another iOS Tor Browser showed the onionsite as live on the same device. Trying another known live onionsite produced an all black screen.

Perhaps a "Clear Cache" button would be useful, although I'm not sure if it is the root of this particular issue

Thanks for your hard work :)

Would be great if you could share the addresses, so we could debug the problem.

Anyhow, there already is what you request, partly at least and quite hidden, I have to admit:

-> Settings
-> Cookies and Local Storage
-> Cookies and Local Storage
-> Remove All Local Storage

Besides, that, Onion Browser really doesn't store anything more.

The UIWebView does cache stuff, though, that's true, and we don't provide anything here, so I'm keeping this in evidence for v3!

Here's one of the test pages: privacy34kn4ez3y3nijweec6w4g54i3g54sdv7r5mr6soma3w4begyd.onion/

I'll have the user give that a try, thanks for the snappy response

Apparently the user had already tried this multiple times. Any other ideas or insights would be helpful

Looking good to me. No special settings.

I'm afraid, there's some other issue outside Onion Browser involved.
Check your exit nodes. You might want to fix them to a better country like US, DE, GB etc.

Settings -> Advanced Tor Configuration

Add 2 Lines:

--ExitNodes
{us}, {gb}, {de}, {nl}, {fr}

See https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#ExitNodes

Not sure, if that solves it, though. Could also be a server-side issue.
