I open a separate browser window (so it doesn't close when I stop debugging) then I stop debugging, make changes and build them and just carry on using the other browser window to view the changes. (Yes - this works even with changes in your class files, controllers etc).

If you just want to change the views, CSS or scripts you just need to shift and refresh to make sure your browser gets the updated files rather than using the cache.

If this sounds odd to anyone - try it! It works!
