Ignore cache when refreshing a web page

In camino you can reset the cache by simply command+option+e, probably a similar one in firefox, i dunno

Ignore cache when refreshing a web page
Authored by: windrag on Feb 01, '07 08:38:58AM

I've found that Safarii's cache doesn't really speed up my browsing experience enough to make up for the pain of not refreshing properly, so I just lock the ~/Library/Caches/Safari folder to prevent caching. Works great. I haven't tested this on Camino or Firefox.

Ignore cache when refreshing a web page

It's also Command-Option-E in Safari. In Netscape back in pre OS X days, Option-Reload used to do it (Super Reload). I believe that also works in Safari.

It is a shame that there's no settings for cache in Safari.

It's under the Safari menu. There are quite a lot of options there:

- About Safari
- Report Bugs to Apple
- Preferences
- Block Pop-up Windows
- Private Browsing
- Reset Safari
- Empty Cache
