Huh? You press Ctrl-Shift-E to open the dev tools to network monitor, if you don't already have it set click the checkbox for "Disable cache" (maybe there's a shortcut for that too) and press F5 to reload the page.

So the deal is that you're not wrong. It's only sliiightly less convenient. But I think there's real, meaningful cost in things just being different. Shamelessly clone everything about the chrome UI and I'd gladly switch.

I should still try to switch again... But why does it have to be so uncomfortable? Every modern car has all the same controls in the same places. Why not browsers?

And I always find Chrome dev tools annoying because they don't have that easy-to-reach cache checkbox... It's difficult if there's no clear "right answer".

Thank you for that! My searches only yielded the following articles:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache

https://superuser.com/questions/173210/how-can-i-clear-a-sin...

Both of which make clearing the cache very annoying.
