Anyway, this trick is to improve the speed and to keep clean the cache of Google Chrome in Ubuntu.
So, first you have to convert your /tmp folder into a tmpfs system (check it out here).
Chrome store the cache in the folder .cache/google-chrome at $HOME. So the idea is to link cache's folder with the /tmp folder. First you have to delete (or move to another place) the folder google-chrome then make the link.
ln -s /tmp $HOME/.cache/google-chrome
Now all cache is written in the /tmp folder which, thanks to tmpfs, is allocated in the RAM/swapp memory. After each reboot the cache is deleted.
See you.
Caveat: if you share the computer, your cache could be seen by someone else.
