why styles.css doesn't work on Chrome?

The background and font color do not change on Chrome but they do on Safari. Could anyone please explain why?

clear browser history or refresh a few times. Or try icognito.

You might have to do css prefixes. I hope that helps.

I had the same problem but if you refresh it a few times it fixes itself. It is weird that that is happening. I'm using firefox.

actually I also have the same problem, it seems the browser's cache stop to read the new scripts. try eliminate the history data would help instantly. :)

I had the same issue, what helped me is adding the type="text/css" tag.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/styles.css">

In Chrome if you go to the DevTools settings, you can disable the cache as long as DevTools is open.
