How to stop or limit Chrome-24 cache? [ Solved ]

#1 Post by sunburnt »

The Chrome-24 cache is 330 MB in size now.!!!

When I started using it, it was lightening fast, now it`s more like Firefox.

Firefox has config. settings to control it`s caching, how about Chrome?

Digging around at the Google site produced this:
##### Google Chrome CLI options.

google-chrome --user-data-dir=( /PathTo/Configs.)
google-chrome --disk-cache-dir=( /PathTo/Cache )
google-chrome --disk-cache-size=( Cache size in bytes.)

Just tried it, shut Chrome off and it`s cache was 355 MB !

Then I restarted it with: google-chrome --disk-cache-size=20971520

( 20 MB cache size.)

Started Chrome up again and now the cache size is 3 MB and slowly climbing.

Please see SHINOBAR's post re placing the cache in tmp where it is not saved.
