Disable cache for specific sites in Chrome

Question

Is there a way to tell Chrome to disable caching for specific sites? I'm doing dev work, and I'd like to avoid caching localhost.

Answer 1

Since you're doing development work you probably have the DevTools open. If you press the settings button in the DevTools window (bottom right) and select the General tab. There you will find the option "Disable cache (while DevTools is open)". Check that option and the cache will be disabled whenever you have the DevTools open.

I'm using Chrome 28 on Linux and think it's available on all platforms as described in the documentation.
