[Request/Bug] disable pull down to refresh #4854

Describe the bug

My web pages will often refresh due to the pull down to refresh feature when I'm using web pages with scroll features (either the app does it when I'm trying to scroll, like a bug, or I just get to the top of the scroll and I refresh).

If we could get an option to disable it (because I find it more annoying than useful) that would be swell.

How to Reproduce

  1. Use a web page with a long scroll area
  2. Go to bottom of scroll page, then scroll quickly up by swiping several times
  3. Sometimes, the webpage will refresh before it hits the top of the scroll area

Expected behavior

I want it to stop refreshing pages on pull altogether, but fixing the refresh big would be fine I suppose.

Environment

- DDG App Version: 5.209.2

Same. It's a nightmare to have this feature. There should be an option to disable pull to refresh just like in Firefox. Any site, let's say Duck.ai for example, you do a lot of chatting and scroll up to see something in the top and accidentally scroll a little more, now the page will start refreshing and you will loose everything till now.
This is the case with any site where you input something. Everytime it's giving a mental stress not to scroll a little more after reaching the top and if mistake happens, you will loose all the data you input in the page.
A feature good only for pages where user input nothing but the page content changes frequently, like stock price. Not needed for the rest of the sites. It will be good to have a turn off switch in the app.
