    Shortcut for hard refresh on mac is Command + Shift + R Commented Mar 3, 2021 at 13:01
  • I find when testing a change in Amazon Cloudfront distribution setting, even "Disable Cache" in DevTools, or use "Empty Cache and Hard Reload" will not work. One must close the Incognito window, clear the cache manually, and then reopen the Incognito window, and reinput the URL to see the update, which is very inconvenient. Commented Sep 1, 2021 at 23:02
  • Doesn't work (Chrome 103, Mac). I am developing several apps in parallel, and I continually need to delete the cache manually. I'm not sure what this checkbox does, but it simply doesn't work. Another thing is that command+option+r does definitely not flush the cache. Yes, it reloads the page without using the cache, but when you load the page again without the option key you'll get the old stuff back. I have had to start using two different browsers. For everything where I want caching I use Safari, so I can manually flush the Chrome cache without hurting anything. Commented Jul 6, 2022 at 11:45
  • this only works when the devtools are open which totally kills the purpose if you are trying to eliminate caching for web dev purposes. I have my server with VS code doing auto refresh and auto save but the caching in the browser is terrible. I can't click refresh every time I make an edit. There has to be a better way.
