<![CDATA[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 🙂

This function of pull to refresh is really annoying,
I thank you if you will give us the opportunity to turn it off.

Opera Browser is the absolute best,
but still it lacks a little something to be perfect,
these things:

  1. rising from an open page to another, often you have refresh the page, and if you have compiled some form, this is reset,
    you can solve?

  2. you can be added in the bar of the home page button?

  3. we could regain the ability to activate the flash player as boat browser, maxthon etc. and older versions of opera?

  4. ability to remove passwords stored only for a site, and not on all,
    sometimes it happens to be wrong password as you type, and to delete it, you have to delete all passwords

thank you

Sorry for not responding sooner, we understand that this is a problem for a lot of you. We will provide this functionality in our next beta release, we will let you know when it's added.

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.

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.

I keep doing it accidentally while scrolling and losing data, and have never wanted to trigger it on purpose.

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

Options are the answer.

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.

Also bring back scroll button! It's missing!
