Clear Cache for Current Tab is a free Chrome add-on developed by Nicolas Barraud. As the name suggests, this add-on allows users to clear the browser cache for the current tab only.

Unlike most cache-cleaning extensions, Clear Cache for Current Tab specifically targets the cache of the current tab. This feature proves to be particularly useful for web developers and testers who want to ensure that their web app functions properly without affecting their experience on other websites.

To use the extension, simply click on the extension icon or assign a keyboard shortcut. It provides a convenient and straightforward way to clear the cache for the current tab without the need to navigate through multiple settings.

The extension clears various items from the cache, including Cache Storage, Cookies, File Systems, IndexedDB, Local Storage, Plugin Data, Service Workers, and WebSQL. It provides a comprehensive cleaning solution for developers and testers.

While the extension currently clears all the mentioned categories, the developer plans to add an option in the future to allow users to select which categories they want to clear.

Clear Cache for Current Tab is a valuable tool for developers and testers who want to quickly and efficiently clear the cache for the current tab without affecting their browsing experience on other websites.
