What?  My desktop has 388M of files in /var/log from just random noise
from using it as a desktop.  That amount doesn't seem unusual to me
nor does it stand out.

The browser would typically cache files in $HOME.  But the /var/cache
directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ is where APT is storing its
downloaded deb files.  Probably haven't done an 'apt-get clean' in a
while and many deb files there are taking up space.

On my system for example:

  # du -sh /var/cache
  1.5G    /var/cache

  # apt-get clean

  # du -sh /var/cache
  769M    /var/cache
