So as a web developer you often find yourself needing to turn caching off 
to make sure you are getting the most updated version of the files of your 
site.

But its sucks when you are just regualrly surfing because the "Disable 
cache" in the chrome dev tools is all or nothing.  This slows the whole web 
expirence Google has fought so hard to speed up way down.


To preempt a few stock answers:

   1. Incognito mode isn't desirable because you lose all session data if 
   you close the window. It would be nice like to not have to constantly log 
   back into the site just to make sure it doesn't cache
   2. Ctrl + F5 (or ctrl+ shift + r on mac) is frustrating to have to 
   remember to do all the time and then you have to bang your head against 
   wall when you've forgotten and spent 20 minutes wondering why something 
   didn't reload... and isn't consistent about reloading all the time
