Add option to disable Cache Buster

in progress

A simple checkbox allowing users to disable this feature would help devs to test their own redirections.

P.S. - CacheBuster is actually creating redirection to /wp-admin/ wich is annoying for someone who have a Multisite and want to be redirected to /wp-admin/network/ per example.

Hi all, we will be removing the cache-buster query param entirely.

It was originally added to improve the experience when switching Router Modes, but we agree that it's more annoying than helpful. 😃

Yes, please allow us to disable the cache-buster. It is a serious productivity killer when I have to delete it every time I need to type in a new file or folder to the URL.

An option should be just changing the links on LocalWP App to ones without the cache-buster option by default. Double-clicking the title on the sidebar opens the site without the cache-buster.

Yes, for me, I have to always manually remove the cache buster param from the url because it interferes with some pages where I need the url to have certain params.
