Hard Refresh Your Browser

Here is how to ensure you have the latest version of Konch running in your browser be it Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari -- for both Windows and Mac. 

Browser caching is useful for web browsing in that it allows for page that you’ve visited previously to load much more quickly. Modern browsers like Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari tend to cache front-end resources like JavaScript and style sheets (CSS) to increase web application and website performance. While enhancing performance is usually a great thing, cached resources can cause problems when you have a major change to a web application’s JavaScript or style sheets. 

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is Konch's preferred browser.
