Only requests with responses from BFCache are currently displayed in gray.

Because the cache is disabled, there's no response coming from cache => requests will be shown in black. > Furthermore if I press Ctrl-F5, I click on the net panel and the cache >> button is still there >> > Pressing Ctrl+F5 reloads the page circumventing the cache, though the cache is not deactivated. It still saves the fetched data to the cache. So the *Cache* tab is still there (note that the *Fetch Count* is reset). > So there is no real way to tell if something is cached or not just by >> looking at the listing results is there?
