I'm testing an HTML form, and this requires me to refresh the page to see the updated changes.

I want to refresh the page without sending any POST data, but if I press F5 or the refresh button this shows up instead:

So instead, I have to highlight the URL bar, and then press Enter.

That is all fine, but there is a massive delay from being able to press Enter and refresh the page.

Try it:

  1. Open any page in Chrome
  2. Click the URL box
  3. Spam the Enter key multiple times and see that the page does not refresh

Is there a way to remove this delay?

Other browsers do not have this delay, and I don't recall previous versions of Chrome doing this either.

  • Temp solution: Bookmark the URL I'm testing, and just click on the bookmark.

  • Can confirm the delay. It's frustrating. No one else I know seems to have the problem. I'm on macOS. Commented Jul 16, 2019 at 1:24

This has continued to annoy me. With the help of a colleague, I discovered that the history sync was causing the problem for me. Disabling this, removes the delay that seems to have snuck in during the past few weeks.

  • Oh my gosh what! It completely removed the delay. Some quirky settings, but it definitely worked.

Open the Web Inspector.

This confirmation dialog is not displayed if the inspector is open.

  • A great solution too! And it makes sense because I would probably have the developer's console open when debugging forms anyways.
