It's absolutely impossible for me to use Chrome for developing, because it caches javascript and css files. Even when using development mode, hell - even when I do the 'Empty Cache and Hard Reload' - it's still caching and does not reload!

Is there anything I can do to prevent Chrome from caching while using the 'inspect mode'?

  • There's an option in the DevTools settings to disable the cache. Have you tried that? Commented Jul 10, 2017 at 14:17

To disable the Chrome cache for development do the following:

  1. Open the dev tools (Ctrl + Shift + J)
  2. Click on the ... menu in the Dev tools and pick Settings
  3. Scroll down to"Network" and you will see the option to disable the cache

Notice that the option is enabled "while DevTools is open." I find that it works under this condition (only). What I do is click-and-drag the topof the DevTools pane to the bottom of my Chrome window to leave the cache disabled when I don't want DevTools obstructing the main browser window.

I use this add-on: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cache-killer/jpfbieopdmepaolggioebjmedmclkbap?hl=en

It works great.
