Limit or disable Google Chrome cache?

ColEx · 14 Jul 2012 at 11:24

Hey, i have just switched from Firefox to Google Chrome and i am wondering if anyone knows how to disable or limit the cache google chrome creates? With Firefox i had caching disabled because i own a SSD, and my internet is fast enough to not need caching.

I found a command line to put in my Chrome shortcut which limits the cache size to bytes (--disk-cache-size=N) , but my cache still seems to be climbing? Anyone got a better idea? Id rather have the cache completely disabled, but cant find any info on doing this.

I am a noob, i was suppose to replace the "N" in --disk-cache-size=N with a number.

Still though if anyone knows a way to completely disable cache in chrome, let me know.

Select the Wrench menu at the top-right of your browser window, then select Tools -> Developer tools.

There is a gear in the bottom right hand corner of the developer tools called settings that allows you to disable the cache.

I tried that, but the option box doesn't stay enabled. I have limited the cache to 1byte, seems to be ok for now.
