Hi Heu Maning,
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible. You can't pass a custom option to JCEF, because it shares its `CefApp` instance between all the plugins, and there's no API in `JBCefBrowser` to disable the cache. By default it caches in memory (so actually it should be enough to restart the IDE, not re-install your plugin). However, you can try a technique called "cache-busting", you're better to just google the guide, e.g. https://curtistimson.co.uk/post/front-end-dev/what-is-cache-busting
Also, for testing purpose you can use the same DevTools like in Chrome. In 2021.2 just add the VM option:
since 2021.3, switch the registry key:
then you'll have `Open DevTools` in the browser context menu,
