Cachebuster

Front-end devs: stop fiddling with the address bar every time you need fresh-baked server goodness.

Cachebuster - Chrome Extension

Cachebuster is a Chrome extension that allows front-end developers to easily append cache-busting querystrings to URLs. It adds a 'cachebuster' querystring key to the current tab's URL, using the POSIX time as a value, providing fresh server content without the need to manually modify the address bar.

This extension is exceptional for its utility and simplicity. I only wish you'd create one for Firefox too!
