JavaScript Cache Bug(?)
-
Has someone noticed this? This is not particular a new bug to the latest Vivaldi release. I actually noticed this bug even since last year because I do some web development.
Not sure if it's a Chrome issue.
When I do development in Vivaldi I noticed that changes to some JavaScript files are never updated in Vivaldi, but in Firefox they do. It seems Vivaldi is caching JavaScripts way beyond the normal time or has a problem detecting when they changed or have new content.
I even closed the browser, come back a day later, open the same page where the JS is linked and Vivaldi is still loading the old version. If I you then manually open the JS file url, and hit Reload in Vivaldi, its now properly loads the new and updated version and then the site also is loading the new from that point on, but unless you do this, Vivaldi catches it seems like for ever. It seems to only happen with JavaScript files linked in a page where the changes where minimal.
I can imagine that tons of web apps bugs and sites could potentially be caused by this if they are sending a small change in a JS file and Vivaldi is not detecting it.

No need to be rude Gwen-Dragon.
I have experienced the same problem where local changes in my javascript file are not shown when I access my server through Vivaldi. But as terere said, if I use Firefox it updates straight away. If it was a server setting surely there shouldn't be a difference between Firefox and Vivaldi.
