I'm scrolling down a page which loads data with JavaScript (Unlimited Scroll). After some time, chrome uses lot of RAM. If I refresh the page, I'll have to again scroll from the first result again.
I saw this in chrome memory tab which shows almost 1.7 GB of heap size. How can I release this memory?

Or is there any way to restore the cookies, session so that after closing the browser I can retain my scroll location.

We run a system which shows some medias (images, videos, etc.).
As system we have a ubuntu with a kiosk google chrome, now we have the issue that larger files are not cached.
As example we have a video which is 54mb large and will be redownloaded every time.
The header (max-age, etag) etc. are correct on the backend, as smaller files are cached correctly.
For Firefox we found the option "browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size", after we increased that option 100mb, the video with 54mb was cached on firefox.
Is there a similar option for google chrome ?
Thanks you in advance.
I tried searching for a parameter to increase the limit, but don't found one.
I found the option "media-cache-size" which was removed a lot years ago.
There is the option "--disk-cache-size" which defines the size of the whole cache (instead per file).
I don't event found out what the limit for the cache is.
I've been trying to track down what is causing my website to load slowly. Chrome's network inspector shows a gap of over half a second before the page resources are requested. All resources are stored on the same domain so DNS shouldn't be an issue. There are no scripts embedded in the page.
Note: The blocked resource is a tracking script being stopped by an ad blocking extension. With the ad blocker disabled or the tracking script removed I still have the same issue.
Refreshing the page after the initial load or navigating to other pages on the site - even with the cache disabled often doesn't show the same delay.
We are putting together a dashboard using Chrome, that will be using Windows' kiosk mode. As part of this, the page will load a playlist of videos to be displayed back to back. The issue we are running into is that Chrome does not seem to be caching the videos (MP4s from a site we own), meaning we are dealing with a network load every time. This is observed by:
loading bar in the scrubber slowly making its way
videos stop loading when computer goes off line, even though they played 3 minutes ago
This is not ideal since it means we are network dependent and it also means we could chew through our data quota very fast.
Does anyone know how to force Chrome to cache these videos, or failing that a workaround to the issue?
While attempting to test when a video file is loaded on a webpage, I ran into issues when trying to remove it from Chrome's browser cache.
I couldn't get the file to reappear in the network panel of dev tools when either hard reloading, clearing the browser's cache or by keeping disable cache checked in Chrome's dev tools.
The only way I could get the files to reload was to either start a new private browsing tab or wait a few minutes, when the files would then be reloaded.
Seems to happen on the following page as well as my own:
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html
This also appeared to happen on a number of other browsers as well as Chrome.
So do Chrome and other browsers cache video files differently to other files (possibly to save bandwidth), and is there an easier way to force video files to reload while testing other than starting a new private browsing tab for each page refresh?
I have an old application running on locked-down PCs which are used as wall displays. They all point to a URL using IE11 to get a web page view. The problem is, when the Web Page updates, even if it is refreshed, a cached version is displayed.
If the PC is reset will it clear the cache?
To reduce some potential caching issues, it's best to have Internet Explorer set to request the latest version of the page rather than relying on a cached copy. To do this:
From the Tools menu choose Internet Options.
On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Settings.
Under "Check for newer versions of stored pages" make sure "Every time I visit the webpage" is selected.
Click the OK button.
