The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Instructions to Clear Data Cache in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera Browsers (Pictures) Post 303033536 by Neo on Monday 8th of April 2019 01:00:11 AM

I spent quite a bit of time on this "clear the cache" issue, and found that only Safari will clear the cache (regarding downloaded JS files) and reload properly (command r) when the browser is reloaded without quitting the browser.

However, Chrome, Firefox and Opera all require (me at least) to quit their browser completely and restart before the page (after clearing the cache) so the page will properly reload with fresh JS.

Strange, really.
