Disable Chrome cache
Keep local data until a browser restart

Let us see how to do it.

Disable cache

The first thing we need to do right now disables the cache in Google Chrome. This can be done easily, so don’t worry too much about any difficulty. Just make sure Chrome is launched, because of course, that is very important.

Okay, then. To get started, select the Menu button, and then click on More Tools. From there, select Developer Tools. Or, for an easier way to get this screen, just press Ctrl + Shift + I on your keyboard.

Now that the Developer tool section is on your screen, please select Network from the options. Once you’re there, make sure that Disable cache is checked.

Keep local data until a browser restart

To change your cookie settings in Chrome, go to the Settings area and select “Show advanced settings.” In the Privacy section, click on Content settings, then navigate to Cookies. Under this section, select “Keep local data only until you quit your browser.”

Finally, restart Chrome and everything should work just fine now. If not, try an alternative web browser such as Firefox, Opera, or even the new version of Microsoft Edge Chromium.
