No, I think the proposal in the issue linked above should be enough.

Is there much that would makes sense to do on the plugin side? I think I mentioned earlier that we could start always opening an incognito browser for embedding, but if there will be fix coming from DevTools then probably no need.

The cache location Danny suggested is the only cache folder I see with JX Browser, so I don’t think there’s much to do there. We may consider changing to using an incognito window in the plugin so that caching in between sessions of using the IDE won’t be an issue.

I changed my Flutter version to 3.3.10 and I’m able to reproduce this problem with a new project created from that SDK. Changing the query string of the URL doesn’t make a difference, so I think this isn’t a cache problem. Is there an alternative version of DevTools or some other step I could try to isolate what the problem could be?
