Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Add support to CoreWebView2Profile.ClearBrowsingDataAsync to be able to clear browsing data only for specific domain / website.
Currently CoreWebView2Profile.ClearBrowsingDataAsync only support clearing data per data kind and between a time range. However we want to be able to clear cache data for some domains only and leave the other data intact.
Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered
Possible solutions
- ClearBrowsingDataAsync() should have a new overload that accepts a
stringto delete all data for a specific domain. - Add support for
InPrivatemode where no browsing data is persisted, so we can manage all data clearing on our side.
