All data uri resources are coming as (from memory cache) under Size column in devtools. Even after i cleared browsing data of chrome and checked 'disable cache' , and run in private window also, its still coming as memory cache .

Update: Some DevTools engineers checked it out. DevTools lists Data URIs as originating from memory cache, even on a brand new Chrome profile. So it's a bug.

Try these:

9 months later, still present. Any ETA on a fix? – SexxLuthor Aug 24 '18 at 15:28

Neither of these solutions are working for me. Clearing storage, emptying the cache, hard reload, disabling cache, incognito browser. I even shut down my dev server and the images were still there, if that matters. – Dylan Landry Feb 25 '19 at 19:53

Do you have a link to the chrome bug? It's still present – Raven Mar 14 '19 at 12:08
Yeah it's still present. What is the solution to this? Anyone? – iheathers Jan 09 '21 at 15:16
I cannot do the second suggestion because I am debugging a phone. However, the first step is still not working for me – Max Coplan Jun 23 '23 at 21:08
