Issue

I work a lot with stylesheets, I change something and I check how it looks. However most if not all current browsers, store the stylesheet and thus won’t let me see the differences. Only with a lot of Reset Safari, Empty Cache button presses it suddenly updates but this is really annoying.

Question

Is there a way to disable the cache feature in browsers? So it won’t store any files and I will always fetch the latest css from the server.

Ps. Safari’s Empty Cache and Reset Safari doesn’t always clear the cache and Develop > Disable Cache doesn’t seem to do anything.

    In Chrome, IE, Firefox, and most other browsers, Ctrl+F5 (“hard refresh”) will force reloading cached resources on the page. I do this all the time. I can’t speak for Safari, but I’d expect it would do the same.

    Edit: I just did a search for “+Safari +hard +refresh” and it looks like on the Mac, you hold down the Options key while clicking refresh. Some sources say Shift also works, and that Command+Option+E clears cache.
