Each Google Chrome update brings many advantages, but also a lot of disadvantages for the developer. Today, I do not know if there was an update, I noticed that Chrome caches everything without disassembly. I will give an example:

Developing a website, as usual. Style sheets, js and so on. When I make changes to the stylesheet file, it should change accordingly after reloading the page, so it was until recently. Now I have to clear the cache (CTRL + SHIFT + i => Network => Disable cache, but here is a little sign of While DevTools is open ). The question is, can I return everything as it once was? So that I make changes to the stylesheet and they are applied by simply reloading the page, rather than constantly opening this developer panel?

    I can offer the following options:

    1. You can work in incognito mode.
    2. You can use a third-party extension, for example, CacheKiller .
    3. You can use a different browser (a matter of personal preference, not a holivar for).
    4. You can write in the shortcut to run Chrome options: --disk-cache-size=0 --media-cache-size=0 .

    • They just do not worry about such things, deciding for the user how he is better (often this is justified, but not always!). But the problem with the cache of Chrome is known. Moreover, he likes to cache absolutely everything and often, from favions to video, filling the disk with unnecessary junk. Therefore, one has to look for workarounds. For example, to save disk space and trite to speed up the work, you can transfer the folders with caches (regular and media cache) to RAM-Disk. It also requires some effort, of course.
