How to disable all caching in Safari 13

When I toggle the disable resource cache in the network tab, the javascript and stylesheets are still loaded from (memory).

I'm using webpack-dev-server (via vue-cli 3) which uses ETag headers, so Safari should send a If-None-Match requests, but doesn't.
As a workaround i'm using production mode which generates unique urls, but i'd rather use development mode.

Is there setting or special key-combo to really refresh the page?

Solution

  • More than a year later, Safari still has the bug :-(

    I did find a key-combo sequence:

    1. Clear the cache with: ⌘ Command + ⌥ Option + E
    2. Refresh the page: ⌘ Command + R

    This is far from ideal and makes me wanting to avoid developing and testing in Safari.
