chrome cache removal for single files

google-chrome-devtools

Solution

If you are working on a webpage and wish to avoid caching (btw, it's recommended! :) You can do it today in Chrome DevTools. Go to Settings (the icon in the bottom-right corner) and click on it. Then, you will have an option 'disable cache' - mark it and you done.

Just don't forget to return this state when you done working as chrome will be faster with its caching schema.

Problem

recently I had to remove my entire cache to be able to view a webpage I was working on. This is fine I guess but it could be improved by removing specific pages from the cache. the chrome.browsingData.remove, seemingly has no option for indicating individual pages for removal. I was wondering if this could be done externally, but I am not familiar with the chromium code. I was also wondering if there are any planned changes to the chrome.browsingData.remove implementation. Many thanks
