Cache Disabler Firefox

Cache Disabler

Ensure you get the latest changes during web development.

Features & Capabilities

Effortlessly disable the browser cache. Add a hostname (domain) and all requests originated from that domain will always be fresh.

Plus, there's no need to re-enable hostnames upon browser restart. All settings are persisted.

This extension is quite similar to the "disable cache" function in Developer Tools. But without the need to keep them continuously open.

User Reviews

Disables only network cache but does not disable "cache storage" so it works only partially.

Does exactly what it says. I was looking for a way to disable cache on specific websites.

Is Cache Disabler Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Cache Disabler requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
