Hard Refresh is a free Chrome extension developed by openaddons.com. This handy tool adds a "Hard Refresh" button to your toolbar, allowing you to easily refresh the current page while bypassing the cache.

With Hard Refresh, you have the option to select what you want to clear before reloading the page. You can choose to empty the cache, delete cookies, clear file systems, indexed data, local storage data, plugin data, service workers, and webSQL data. These options only affect the site in the current tab, giving you control over what gets cleared.

The extension also offers the flexibility to select a different icon to match your Chrome theme or even add your own icon. Additionally, you have the option to add the hard refresh button to the context menu for quick access.

To customize the options, simply right-click on the extension icon and select "Options". Hard Refresh does not require any special permissions and only reads your current tab URL to clear the cache and storage for that specific tab.

Experience the convenience of clearing the cache and performing a hard reload with the Hard Refresh Chrome extension. Say goodbye to outdated content and enjoy a refreshed browsing experience.
