Clear Cache For Single Site?

twisted8000

So Chrome use to have a feature that I could clear out the cache for a single site. Does Vivaldi still have this? If so how do I do it?

Thanks

@twisted8000 Well, how did you do it in Chrome? Vivaldi is built on Chromium so most of the Chrome stuff is present.

@Pathduck They use to have a section in cache where you could look for a specific URL. Sense Google wanted to make their browser more useless they got rid of it. Along with 1,000 other things I use to like.

@twisted8000 You still didn't explain how you used to clear cache in Chrome or where this "section in cache" was located.

OK couple ways I can think of, these are basically just Chromium ways:

Click Site Info button (padlock), Site Settings, Delete Data
Open Developer Tools (F12), Application tab, Storage, Clear Site Data

Actually, I'm unsure if either of these clear all cache or just "Storage" which is not necessarily the same as cache.

Personally I don't see much point in clearing cache, unless it's to clear up a little disk space. Cache is there for performance reasons. I use the Cookie Autodelete extension to clear cookies etc from closed tabs that I don't whitelist, but I have explicitly disabled the cache cleanup as I don't see the point and again, cache is for performance reasons.

Probably an extension is your best bet, a quick search on the Web Store shows a ton of them.

@Pathduck Here's a good reason to want to clear only one site from cache: web site development. I am in the process of redesigning my leftside navigation for my website to have drop down menu. I can't test it, because Vivaldi keeps loading the cached version even though I'm doing a reload.

Unless it's a problem with the version of Vivaldi that I'm using (as I use an older version Operating System that Vivaldi no longer supports).

@PCVS For web development, you should use the devtools option to Disable cache on the Network tab header. That way, whenever you refresh the page with devtools open, you will get the fresh changes.

Maybe try: chrome://settings/content/all/
