Clear Cookies for a site in Chrome Extension

[Anuj Dev]

Hi,

I am creating a Chrome Extension that loads a static page inside of an Iframe placed into the popup.html page for the extension.

I want to make sure that every time the extension icon is clicked, the newest version of that static page is loaded into the frame and not the browser cached version of that page is loaded so that the user gets to see the currently updated page (Static page gets updated every approx 30 Mins).

So, is there any way that can be implemented in Manifest.json or anywhere else to make sure to bring the latest version of page from server and not the cached one is loaded in my extension every time the users visit the extension icon.

Any help is widely appreciated!!

Hi,
I believe you need to add cache control directives to your HTML file.

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Naveen
