ya this, nor the clear cache option we had before doesn't clear back-forward cache on webviews, only the history that we store. This is valid but not new.

the browser history is still available in the history property on the frame. after i clear browser history, my session-store-1-dev file has entries like:

"frames":[{"canGoBack":false,"canGoForward":false,"computedThemeColor":"rgb(51, 51, 51)","endLoadTime":1470784542553,"findDetail":{"caseSensitivity":false,"searchString":""},"fingerprintingProtection":{},"history":["http://samy.pl/evercookie/","https://www.google.com/#q=abcdyahoo","https://www.google.com/#q=abcdyahoo","https://www.bing.com/"], ...

Also for closedFrames.

This might be out of scope, but closing all currently opened tabs/windows when "Clearing All" could be super useful. I've been bitten a few times where I cleared the history, the browser was restarted and I accidentally hovered over a discarded tab which was then placed back onto about:history.
