Make every reload like Ctrl+F5 ?

I don't know if there's a way to do this already, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make every "reload tab" command the equivalent of using Ctrl + F5 ? Or perhaps making it a selectable option per tab.

A lot of times there's issues with tabs reloading if you have a computer, or a laptop that goes to sleep, or has a wireless card that goes to sleep. When you try to reload, it won't work, I'm assuming because of cache, but if you use Ctrl + F5, it will force reload the entire page without cache.

I know that there are some pages that you don't want to do that on, because of cookies, like if you're logged into a bank website or something, but most of the time those sites have navigation that makes reloads unnecessary.

I've had it mess up on machines that weren't sleeping as well.

I have quite a few machines that never go to sleep. I sometimes pull up the local weather, and update tab every 30 minutes. But I'll get a load error from the website after a few hours.

If I hit reload, it will come up with the same error. If I use Ctrl + F5 to reload the tab it works again.

I'm assuming that it has to do with cookies expiring or something to that nature. I just know that when I use Ctrl + F5, it forces a reload of everything, like you visited the page for the first time.

I think that it's probably avoided because the cookie data is needed for sites that you log into, it would be annoying if the site required that you login on every reload. But for sites that you don't have to login to, the option to have it do a force reload Ctrl + F5 style, would be nice.

I don't think I need to send in a bug report, because one of the computers I use at work is doing the same thing, only it's running Google Chrome. It might just be the way the Chromium core works, and nothing to do with Vivaldi per-se.
