About Fresh Reload

Fresh Reload gives you a true "clean slate" reload for the current tab — without opening DevTools or clearing your entire browser. Sometimes a normal reload isn't enough: a stale service worker or cached file keeps serving old code, and you're left guessing whether you're actually seeing your latest changes. Fresh Reload fixes that in one click. Click the toolbar button (or press Ctrl+Shift+E / Cmd+Shift+E) and it will: • Clear the current tab's Cache Storage • Unregister that origin's service workers • Hard-reload the tab, bypassing the cache WHY IT'S SAFE • It acts only on the tab you're on, and only when you click the button or use the shortcut • No host permissions — it has no standing access to any site • No servers, no tracking, no remote code, and it collects no data Perfect for web developers, QA engineers, and anyone tired of asking "why isn't my change showing up?"
