The fetchHotfix() function was using cache: 'no-store', which bypassed browser HTTP caching. This caused broken-features.csv and CSS hotfixes to be re-downloaded on every page load, despite webext-storage-cache managing storage-level caching.

Changes

  • Removed cache: 'no-store' from fetch options in fetchHotfix()
  • Browser now respects HTTP cache headers while webext-storage-cache handles staleness/revalidation

Test URLs

https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github (any page - check Network tab, hotfix files should be cached)

Screenshot

N/A - network-level caching behavior change

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Hotfixes are not cached</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Description

This problem probably occurred after updating the refined-github plugin.
Now every time I open github, IDM will automatically download the broken-features.csv file repeatedly.
I wonder if I can modify the corresponding settings to solve this problem?

@fregante I can't repro this, actually the hotfixes aren't being fetched at all until I click the button on the options page 🤦‍♂️

but I am seeing the CSS file being download on every page load…</comment_new>
