Where has chrome://cache been moved to?

In the past it was possible to browse the browser cache by visiting chrome://cache/ but it seems to have been (re)moved?


It was removed on purpose and it won't be coming back.

Both chrome://cache and chrome://view-http-cache have been removed starting chrome 66. They work in version 65.

Workaround

You can check the chrome://chrome-urls/ for complete list of internal Chrome URLs.

The only workaround that comes into my mind is to use menu/more tools/developer tools and having a Network tab selected.

The reason why it was removed is this bug:

  • https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/6ebc11f6f6d112e4cca5251d4c0203e18cd79adc
  • https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=811956

The discussion:

  • https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/net-dev/YNct7Nk6bd8/ODeGPq6KAAAJ

It hasn't been moved, it's been removed! Because of the Bug: 811956, 809823

However the cache still exists and is at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\Cache.

You can view/list your cache using a Cache viewer for Google Chrome!
