Thank you so much chrome developers for this! Now web designers are free from pain of cache 🙌🏻

Nice! Might still open incognito windows for about a week due to sheer force of habit.

You are supposed to use cache... not run away from it

That's if you can auto disable it

@essuraj But when designing and constantly changing css you might forget to ctrl+F5 and get frustrated why the change does not work.

On work we use fingerprinting based on file hash so any change forces a reload that no cache can override but it requires some boiler plate in the project.

Less ctrl-f5 yea!

You found that now only?

@Voxera ....true frustration is changing code in node js backend while debugging

Hold down 'Shift' key while you refresh/reload your browser.

Way better than

window.location.reload(true)

Thr best thing about this is that it only works when the developer console is open (as far as i know) :)

@cankarales indeed that's why dual monitor setup, extend console to another screen 😂✌🏻

This is oooold.. but priceless yes!
Also sux if you still have to adapt for IE.. FML!! Better just reinstall windows just to be sure the cache is cleared... ahahhahaa ;)

@sladuled i guess u did not notice, let me help you I'm running Linux!

@siddharth2395 My bad, I assumed chrome has same functionality on any platform nowadays.. It's been ages since I opened it (dev tools) on linux..

@sladuled chrome has same functionalities over all the platforms, here I'm specifically talking about css, js cache that is not getting updated as u make some small changes in code so, when u refresh, ur changes does not reflects in design so u gotta clear all the cache and that's a headache every time so now they introduce this feature in devtools so i don't panic every time when changes does not reflect in design 😂

Does it affect localStorage too?

I don't like simple solutions so I use auto-generated hash file names.
It works also in client browsers

@siddharth2395 this has been a feature for years.

@Unicorn- even in incognito, caching works baby! You've gotta use this option there also :)

The option is already there from eons! I'm using it from the time Diana ( the queen of Amazons ) stepped in our world this time ;)
