How do you clear cached redirects in Chrome?
I changed the DNS for a domain name and when I go to mydomain.com. Even though ping mydomain.com now shows it resolves to the correct IP, if I type in "mydomain.com" into Chrome, it still redirects to mydomain.com/404, which was a redirect automatically setup by the old webhost.
Clearing Chrome's browser cache has no effect, and Chrome seems to ignore /etc/hosts. I tried using a "different" URL, like mydomain.com?123, but Chrome still redirects to mydomain.com/404. Is this a bug or is there someway to clear whatever cache Chrome uses to save 301 redirects?

On desktop Chrome, deleting the last hour of browsing history works, so long as you've followed the redirect within the last hour.
On Android Chrome, visit
chrome://net-internals, click the downward arrow at the top right corner, and choose 'clear cache'. That is the only solution I found for Chrome on Android.
