seperate stop and refresh buttons

[SoulReaper]

I would like seperate stop and refresh buttons (or the option to have them).

@barbudo2005 What is the point of your post?

You can change your settings if you don't want to receive email notifications, or no notifications at all. Usually, you will see notifications on the Bell Icon when you visit the forum.

@barbudo2005 is pointing out that those other browsers do not have separate stop and reload buttons.

In Vivaldi, you will see the Stop button while a page is loading, and the reload button when it has finished loading. I think that is pretty much standard behaviour.

What you can do in Vivaldi is customise the context menu for the Reload/Stop Button in Settings, Appearance, Menu Customisation. Then you can see a menu like this if you long-press on the button (or right-click).

I added a bookmark to: vivaldi://restart to restart the browser, because I find that I need to do it fairly often when testing stuff.

@pesala If I wanted what the other browsers did, I would use the other browsers. Firefox used to have seperate buttons, and I can still accomplish that with Pale Moon. I want to be able to spam the refresh button when a page is loading slowly, and not have it stop every other time. And I feel like you used to be able to stop AJAX stuff, but after a page has finished loading and no stop button you can't.

Right now you can set keyboard shortcuts for both in the settings and use those keys instead of UI buttons.

Of course in old Opera, you could have separate buttons if you wanted. No doubt Jon would like that level of customization for Vivaldi too, but it isn't there yet.

@Pesala said in seperate stop and refresh buttons:

I thought we were all here because other browsers do not have basic customization options like this.

Separate stop and reload buttons were standard for years (like tabs below address bar, another thing Vivaldi hasn't [re]implemented yet) until somehow minimalist fashion took over and declared that everything that can possibly be reduced must be reduced.

Separate stop and reload buttons are useful because sometimes you click on stop just as it finishes loading, whereupon it ends up reloading again if the buttons are combined.

Now with command chains and customizable tool bars, this should be possible.

Make one command chain for Reload Page and another for Stop Loading, then add them both to the address bar. Then, optionally, you can change the icons with CSS to easily tell the difference between the two buttons.

While it is still a little hacky because of the custom CSS, maybe in the future it will be easier to set custom icons for command chain buttons.
