I just stumbled across this feature by accident a few minutes ago and thought I’d share it with you. Google’s Chrome web browser has some great built-in developer tools that you can activate by pressing the F12 key, Control+Shift+I, or by going to the Settings menu >> Tools >> Developer Tools. The trick I just noticed is that when you have the developer tools open, if you hold down the reload button , you get a drop down menu with three options:
- Normal Reload
- Hard Reload
- Empty Cache and Hard Reload
Sweet!
Not happening on my Mac with Chrome 23.0.1271.95
Doesn’t happen on Linux either apparently. Guess it’s a Windows only thing. Shame.
Nice find! Very useful.
