Cache Killer

Automatically clear your browser cache before loading a page. Can be enabled/disabled with a single mouse click

Cache Killer is a handy Chrome extension that automatically clears your browser cache before loading each page, ensuring you always see the most up-to-date content. With just a single mouse click, you can easily toggle the cache clearing feature on or off.

Note that the extension resets to the "off" state when the browser restarts. To keep it enabled by default, simply activate the "Enable on start" option found in the extension's settings menu. This helps maintain cache clearing functionality seamlessly every time you launch your browser.

User reviews

Users appreciate Cache Killer for its effective cache clearing, lightweight design, and productivity benefits. However, many report that it often disables itself automatically when restarting the browser, causing inconvenience. Enabling the 'Enable on Start' option can mitigate this, but reliability concerns persist compared to the Classic Cache Killer extension.
