Chrome browser reload options new feature

Google Chrome

Google Chrome Problem Overview


I found this new feature in Chrome today. When you hover over the refresh button you get this tooltip saying: "Reload this page, hold to see more options" and when I do it I get these three awesome options.

  1. Normal Reload
  2. Hard Reload
  3. Empty Cache and Hard Reload (this is very useful option I believe)

But the problem is I cant see it consistently across all tabs/web pages. Only local files and even its not consistent. Anybody here knows how this is enabled/disabled?

I tried googling but didnt find anything related. Either way its a great feature I believe for all developers out there.

  2. The address will highlight and the keyboard will reappear.
  3. Hit the return (or enter) arrow

and the browser will go out to the highlighted url (refreshed).
