Im currently using google chrome on xubuntu linux and it is wonderful.
Does anybody know how i can stop chrome from using the disk cache and remembering history etc.?

Thank you.
 
Not tried, but Cache Killer

Or see last comment, How to totally disable cache? • /r/chrome

In Linux I call chrome with
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable –disk-cache-dir=”/dev/null” –media-cache-dir=”/dev/null”

I have deleted all cache directories first. You can either create a start button in the panel for chrome and change the command for starting chrome to
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable –disk-cache-dir=”/dev/null” –media-cache-dir=”/dev/null” %U
or create an alias:
alias chrome=’/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable –disk-cache-dir=”/dev/null” –media-cache-dir=”/dev/null”‘

This way chrome writes things in “empty cyber space” without noticing anything and without finding anything in the cache.

Thanks for the reply.
However im sorry to say that i have uninstalled chrome as the resource usage and aggressive cache function is not to my liking.I can audibly hear the disk crunching;

Im back with pale moon which is lighter and does not cache like chrome.
