      When I open developer tools, then go to the network tab, right-click and select "clear browser cache" the cache is not actually emptied.

        Checking with https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/chrome_cache_view.html (after pointing it to Opera's cache folder), "clear browser cache" works for me (after refreshing the view in the viewer). Windows 10 + Opera 64.0.3417.61 64-bit.

          I don't know how to point it to opera's cache folder. However I see the following behaviour:

          1. Load files with browser in developer mode
          2. Change file on webserver
          3. Clear cache
          4. Press F5 or ctrl-r
          5. Check contents by clicking the loaded file, they remain the old

          When I right-click "open in new tab" then view the file contents it is also the old contents, pressing immediately F5 or ctrl-r reloads with the new data.

          Opera version 63.0.3368.107

            Press F9.

            Okay. Does Chrome behave as you suspect or doe sit do the same as Opera?

            Did you try ctrl + shift + F5 instead? There's also a "disable cache" checkbox on the Network tab.

              Hi,

              I upgraded to 64.0.3417.61 and now the problem seems to be gone.

              Thanks,
              Marc
