Fuck Google Chrome cache.

For almost an hour, sat and tried to make changes to a react UI but unfortunately nothing's changing. Started to worry and doubt myself.
Even thought of getting myself the yellow duck! But fuck no , little did I realise that Chrome "intelligently" fetched my page from cache even though I was using incognito! Had to re-open the browser to realise that.

How did I find out you ask? I thought why not fucking open the same page in Mozilla . Why? Because why not?! But I still can't believe that I wasted a whole fucking hour due to that piece of shit called cache!

    Other browsers have cache too. Firefox just didnt have your page cached yet. In chrome click F12, go to Networking tab and enable Disable cache option. Great for developing

    Ctrl+F5 or does it use the cache too?

    @mrmaavin I don't think it does. Hard refresh should re-download all cached shit.

    Incognito does not prevent caching if you keep the tab open.

    The only thing that helps is keeping the dev tools open (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+i) and check "disable cache" in the "Network" tab.

    My boss always asks me why my commits break the site, he always forgets to open the dev tools or he doesn't start the build task in gulp. Fucker...

    So when you want to test a site or check for changes: Open the damn dev tools with disabled cache checked. 😉

    @Kekica If I delete my cache I expect it to be FUCKING DELETED. This is unique to Chrome and doesn't happen on ANY other browser. Except Opera maybe a thousand years ago.
