I’m trying to clear the DNS cache while using Chrome in Incognito Mode. I know that using chrome://net-internals/#dns can help with clearing the DNS cache in regular mode, but I’m not sure if there’s a different process or any extra steps required for Incognito.
Does anyone have a reliable method or workaround to ensure the DNS cache is cleared when browsing in Incognito Mode?
Any advice or detailed steps would be greatly appreciated!
To clear the DNS cache in Google Chrome using the chrome://net-internals/#dns tool, follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Open Chrome Browser**: Launch the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
2. **Enter chrome://net-internals/#dns**: Type chrome://net-internals/#dns into the address bar and press **Enter**. This will take you to Chrome’s internal DNS page.
3. **Clear DNS Cache**:
– On the DNS page, you will see a button labeled **“Clear host cache”**.
– Click on **“Clear host cache”** to clear Chrome’s DNS cache.
4. **Flush Sockets (Optional)**:
– You can further ensure that network connections are reset by clearing active sockets.
– Go to chrome://net-internals/#sockets.
– Click on **“Flush socket pools”**.
### Why Clear DNS Cache?
– **Troubleshooting**: It can help resolve issues where websites are not loading correctly or are showing outdated content.
– **Privacy**: Clearing the DNS cache can also help improve your browsing privacy.
**Note**: Clearing Chrome’s DNS cache only affects the browser’s internal cache. If you need to clear the DNS cache for your operating system, you will have to do it separately through system settings or command line tools, depending on your OS.
