[offtopic] GitHub CI webpage caching is horrible...

I usually keep the URL
  https://github.com/git/git/actions/workflows/main.yml?query=event%3Apush+actor%3Agitster

open in one of my browser tabs, but this request interacts badly with the web cache they use. Depending on the phase of the moon, I get a stale cached page whose latest entry is from early August!

As a workaround, I could append '&nonce=$random_number' to the end of the URL, but I should not have to do that.

Grumble...
