About

Struggling with stale content while developing? "Cache Buster" is the simplest way to force a hard refresh for any specific tab without opening DevTools. 

Why use this? 
Standard "Disable Cache" requires keeping the DevTools window open, which takes up screen space. Cache Buster lets you test with the full viewport while ensuring you are always seeing the latest version of your code.

Enjoy ;)

-- CHANGELOG --
v1.0.1 - Minor improvement on plugin icon and visual indicator
v1.0 - First public release
