So hitting the ‘stop’ button should give you a partial page, right? Good to know!
It sometimes will, yep! I’m obviously oversimplifying, it depends on the implementation of the “stop” button and the specific elements that are failing, but a surprisingly large percentage of the time It’ll work. It will also work to avoid some paywalls if you stop the page before they load in.
I’m so confused. Here in Firefox, the reload-button turns into the stop-button, while it’s loading. You cannot hit reload without hitting stop first. Are there browsers, which really keep these buttons separate?
Can’t remember on Firefox itself, but on the forks I use, Waterfox and Fennec, it’s possible to reload mid-load, on Waterfox with F5, Ctrl R, Ctrl Shift R and/or selecting the address and hitting enter, and on Fennec by using the dragging gesture for reloading until the reload icon appears.
Ah, right, I’m a dumbass. 🙃
I was just thinking of the GUI button, but yeah, of course you can hit the keyboard shortcut to trigger a reload right away…
