<span class="quote">> Sorry to clarify again, but you mention disabling cache is the same between

I will reopen this bug, but I still don't understand the use case. Why are stale files being served? Do you not have control over your server configuration? Is Reload From Origin too hard to use/find? Do you turn this on all the time or just to workaround particular issues? "Because it's in Chrome" tells me nothing.</pre>
