I read in a source that chrome, when it goes to a domain, it prefetches most of the pages that might be used for that domain. As a result of this, I'm facing a problem. I have a greasemonkey script which is to be injected in every page. But what seems to happen is that the browser injects the script for the first page in a domain and that remains when i go to another page, instead of being re-injected (which is what i would want). Any ideas on how i could achieve this behavior ??
Google Chrome will precache DNS entries on the page but it doesn't pro-actively go and fetch pages, Firefox however, does prefetch pages.
Actually, there is a case where Chrome will proactively pre-cache any page that is mentioned in the cache manifest. This is designed for offline scenarios. However, each page when downloaded will not be executed against any injected script, nor will it run any JS on those pages.

This used to work as a valid href attribute but it seems in the past few months it now shows an error in the console (I'm using Chrome):
Not allowed to load local resource: view-source: http://stackoverflow.com
I found some links from 2013 where this was once a bug in Chrome but said it was fixed.
Could someone point me to an authoritative source that can explain why this no longer works? I assume that this is security by the browser and not an angular issue (since view-source is whitelisted and used to work)
Looks like Chrome and Firefox (at least) disabled this within the past year or so
I found this thread, and these release notes explaining why and provides a timeline as to when the change took place.
Related StackOverflow question: File URL "Not allowed to load local resource" in the Internet Browser
Chrome responds with the "Not allowed to load local resource:" as a security protocol. I'm not sure why this used to work, but not now, though there is no real way around this unless web-security is disabled. There may be a different outcome on other browsers, but ultimately you are correct in thinking that it's Chrome's security.
The reason is that Chrome tries to preload URLs in background, to speed up your browsing experience.
If you open the DevTools after loading the page, the content of the items listed on the Resources tab may not be populated. This is also true of network requests on the Network tab. To see the fully populated resources on the Resources tab, first open the DevTools, then refresh the page, or navigate to the desired page with the DevTools open. Now select the html resource and it should be populated.
My question is rather simple. Is there a way in the cache manifest file (or In the html) to tell iPhone, iPad or other never to cache specific files?
I have a made a small webpage that also works as a web app and there is some of the page that never should be cached.
Yes, you can list the files in the Network section to tell the browser to never save the files.Lines from the book diveintohtml5
The line marked NETWORK: is the beginning of the “online whitelist” section. Resources in this section are never cached and are not available offline.
For device or browser specific manifest, you can not do anything from JavaScript side. You have to do additional server side detection for that.
I have an application that uses Google Drive for document storage and preview functionality, but recently the iFrames that the documents are loading into are not displaying anything. Upon inspection of the console, Chrome declares that it blocked the fram from running insecure content, and that is why the file preview did not load.
The initial call to preview this file is to a url that looks like this:
https://docs.google.com/document/d//preview
There is a redirect along the way that takes the following form but because it uses http instead of https, Chrome blocks the content from loading.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=p&q=https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service%3Dwise%26passive%3Dtrue%26go%3Dtrue%26continue%3Dhttps://docs.google.com/document/d//preview?pref%253D2%2526pli%253D1
Is there any way around this issue? It is blocking a core functionality of my application currently, so any advice would be appreciated. I can provide a screenshot of the full stack of network loads in necessary, but this is the only URL that is not http compliant.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hacked that. Add a "?pli=1" without quotes at the end of the URL to avoid redirect (after "/preview" or "/edit") and land directly to the document.
I have a test.html which uses multiple stylesheets. When opened the file from the local drive (not going through webserver), the styles were applied differently when compared to loading the files from webserver. Can this happen?. How to control this from happening?

As it was mentioned in comments, this looks like a browser caching issue.
A web cache stores copies of documents passing through it; subsequent requests may be satisfied from the cache if certain conditions are met.

Try hitting F5 to refresh the page or disable cache. Usually, it is done through the Developer Tools in a browser (F12).
I'm having a very strange problem with a site in Google Chrome:
When I click on a link (from a list view to a detail page), the page hangs and I Chrome throws up a dialogue asking me to kill the page. The page is never displayed.
But if I navigate directly to the page, it loads in Chrome without any problems. Both actions (clicking on a link or navigating to the page) work fine in Safari and Firefox.
Disabling "Predict network actions to improve page load performance" in Chrome's settings seems to fix the problem, but this is not a viable solution as I don't have any control of my user's browser settings.
Some more detail about the situation:
The link is just a regular <href>. I'm not doing any javascript
click() handling or anything else. I'm not using any 'prefetch' or 'prerender' <link> elements.
The pages all validate using the W3
html5 validator.
The page I'm navigating to loads a lot of JS, uses Knockout.js for rendering and loads a video file over HTTP.
On the occasions that the page does load (after a very long wait),
Chrome appears to have rendered the entire page in the background and
loaded all external resources. If I navigate directly to the page it
doesn't preload anything though (I'm using knockout to show a 'please
wait' message while the external resources load).
When I log the network requests using Charles, it appears that
Chrome loads the HTML for the page instantly, but the requests for
the external resources seem to take forever.
If I look at the CPU usage in Activity Monitor, 'Google Chrome Renderer' uses 100% CPU when loading from the href, but only 30% when loading directly from the page.
I'm using the latest version of Chrome (22.0.1229.94)
So - my question
Is there a way to programatically disable "Predict network actions to improve page load performance"?
Or is there some other solution to this problem?
Just going through high voted unanswered questions I came across this one, and I once got into a similar situation for entirely different reasons (chrome was preloading a huge file I couldn't afford to load for every user). The fairly simple solution I applied back then was to open the link through Javascript rather than a simple href which worked wonders. Either way, your problem might already be solved, but seeing the number of views I thought I could at least share this small insight.
