Option to Disable Reload Button on Speed Dial

You can accidentally reload a page while replying to a message on these forums. What is the point of a reload button at all? Why not remove it by default?
Because Start Page is not a site or a web-page.
Reload button could easily be hidden/inactive on the Start Page.
And F5 could easily be disabled/inactive on the Start Page as well.Vivaldi have done what is logical here — do not reload speed dials that use a custom thumbnail.
I think most users don't use custom thumbnails.
If a user has speed dials that have been manually reloaded from their source URL then why shouldn't F5 or reload page refresh all of those manually reloaded speed dials?
Because Start Page is not a site or a web-page.
After all, there is a button or context menu item to reload just one if that is what a user wants.
In most cases I think user wants to reload manually some of the thumbnails. Reload all of the thumbnails is a very rare case.
There are a lot of solutions here:
- reload all thumbnails in the context menu
- reload all thumbnails in the Quick Settings
- reload all thumbnails button on the Start Page

There is no point to it.

So, just to post an update. It appears there was a misunderstanding, or that this wasn't explained properly.
I had assumed, that preventing F5 from working on Speed Dial didn't have any requirements. I had understood it to mean that none of the speed dials would refresh. And that is why I thought this wasn't working and that there was some sort of missing flag or option I needed to enable.
However, once I grabbed some favicons and replaced the thumbnails with those favicons, that was when the F5 stopped refreshing those speed dials. It appears that you are required to use a custom thumbnail in order to prevent F5 from updating that speed dial.
The one speed dial option that I didn't customize will still refresh when F5 was pressed. But all others do not change the thumbnail assigned to them. It stays the same and no longer replaces the speed dial with a screenshot of the website.
The reason why I mentioned this was that I thought I needed to recreate my profile from scratch. But that isn't the case. I just wish it was a lot more clear that you have to select a custom thumbnail in order to prevent the F5 button from working.
