Pull down to reload

Hi Opera,

Is there any chance you can make the pull down to reload a web page function an on/off user option.

For me accidental misactivations massively outnumber the times I've actually wanted to use it... which is zero. I'm one of those that never found moving my finger a few milimetres to the reload button a great hardship. Never a single misactivation with that!

Thanks

I support this. Pull down to refresh is not a feature I need, and it triggers when I don't want it to way too much.

I support this too! Please give an option to deactivate it.

Either remove it or give disable option.
Also bring back scroll button! It's missing!

Please do this! I don't know how I am supposed to know the top end of the page to a pixel. I am inches from going to another product, with this annoying feature and Windows Opera being such a memory hog. I have been a supporter for many years but having to wait for a reload every time I hit the top of the page is really aggravating me.

+1 for adding on/off switch for this option

This is definitely needed.

New features are great; forcing features on users is awful.

Options are the answer.

Have they made any progress on this? I lost a long forum reply the other day to pull down to refresh!

+1, this should be an option. I keep doing it accidentally while scrolling and losing data, and have never wanted to trigger it on purpose.

Perhaps Chrome and Opera doesn't have the same audience.

Definitely lose this 'feature' or make it optional, it's giving me grief way in excess of its usefulness (which is zero, as there's a refresh function in the address bar).

Very useful when after several clicks back the page can't be found on the cache and page reload is at hand.

Please give us the option to disable this feature. It's very annoying that it is so easy to refresh a page when you don't mean to. Happens way too often and is very frustrating.

Should be on flags, however that's the Chrome way.

Remembering that flags are experiments and not a place to deal with settings and/or options. A flag cab be removed at anytime as soon as the experiment ends.
