[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 992285, member: 88069"] For most situations, you're correct and should the only one you need. However, I do find the occasional website where either: [LIST] [*]the browser cache conflicts with the site; [*]the site is either badly programmed or suffers server issues at their hosting provider; [*]or DNS cache returns older information. [/LIST] You usually find these situations within live (read: real-time online) in-browser tab services. Think of remote browser services for conference calls or discord screenshare with a webcam (not limited to), for example. In such cases where Ctrl+F5 works better, by forcing the cache to be emptied.
