so, I've been playing a multiplayer game about placing pixels on a canvas for a while. recently, the website owner changed the security framework to stay safe against angry hackers (long story) however, the changes we make on the canvas now are reverted when we refresh, and the website owner says it's because the browser caches the whole canvas. how can i disable caching to avoid this?
