Chrome Extension background script always cached, how do I avoid this?

I'm new to Chrome Extension but I enjoyed it very much. Especially the debugging method: refresh the extension page and it'll reload my updates.

but i recently notice that the script content in my background.html is not updating.

I am using manifest V2 and use this way to load my script

<script src="assets/js/script.js"></script>

but the script is not reloading after I refresh the extension page. I have to change the code in my background.html like this to make it work:

<script src="assets/js/script.js?1"></script>

Any tips for this? Is this a bug for debugging Chrome Extension

Have you used enter image description here reload link here, it will refresh every thing no need to use src="assets/js/script.js?1" at all .. Let me know if it still fails.
