As of Firefox 94 I intend to remove support for the “cache” value in the
Clear-Site-Data header. Status in other browsers is supported in Chrome,
Edge, and Opera and unsupported in Safari and IE.

Bug to remove: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1671182

Allowing a page to clear site data allows for different origins in the same
site to interfere or communicate with one another when storage is
partitioned. This was the original rationale of WebKit when declining to
implement the Clear-Site-Data header at its original creation.
Communication has been resolved by restricting the behavior of “cookies”
and “storage” to within each origin’s partitioned storage. However, no such
obvious choice exists for cache data. As such, discussion led to the
proposed removal of support just for “cache.”

Thank you,
