When reloading tabs, bypass cache

[Jimadine]

We are using this extension for rudimentary digital signage. Some of the pages that occupy the tabs are Google Drive images that need a full CTRL+F5 reload in order for changes to reflect. It looks like the extension currently does a normal reload. In order to do a full CTRL+F5 -style reload, bypassCache needs to be set to true, in the reloadProperties (Link to documentation).

Is this something that's of wider interest? Is there any detriment to changing the code to bypass the cache, or would it be better to make it a user-settable option?

I think adding an option makes sense. However, that would mean bypassing cache for each and every tab which might not be desirable as it would increase the time to load the every tab.

We can make it as default false, so that user understands the implications of turning it on.

I would be open to more ideas to implement this.

Thank you. Yes implementing as an option sounds sensible.
