New issue 8742 by [email protected]: Chrome should provide a simpler
means for developers to clear the browser cache and set cache policy
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8742
Chrome Version : 2.0.169.1
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Safari 3: Provides menu option
Firefox 3: Bad UI, but about:config param for the persistent. Web
Developer Toolbar extensions provides a solution
IE 7: Provides a cache policy UI in options
IE 8: Developer tools have a fast "clear the cache button" in
addition to older cache config UI
Chrome makes it difficult for web developers to know that they're dealing
with the latest version of resources that they may be actively working on.
This problem has had various solutions on other browsers over time, but
Chrome's default "Clear browsing data..." menu item duplicates FF's
terribly slow UI for the common-case developer workflow need to just clear
the cache. Safari provides a menu in the "File" dialog and a keyboard
accelerator to clear the cache, and this seems like something we should
support. Additionally, a button in the web inspector to clear the cache
would be a big win.
