Pull-to-Refresh functionality

[kenijo]

Now that Brave for iOS is rewritten with a new architecture, could be please expect to see pull-to-refresh back, similarly to what is available on Chrome?
And pull-to-create new tab / pull-to-close tab as well?

Personal +1 for pull down reload. Its a handy feature when using the device in one hand

Design confirmed by @jamesmudgett:

• Feature would be controlled by a user preference under the "General" section in Settings. The toggle would have the copy Enable Pull-to-refresh and would be enabled by default and the icon would be the same as the refresh icon in the URL bar.
• Pull-to-refresh is only active on non-local/error pages, so you won't be able to pull to refresh on badssl warnings and such

Known Issues that we're ok with for the first iteration:

• This uses the system API for reload, which WKWebView doesn't "officially" support. There is a small jump that occurs when you refresh using pull-to-refresh where the WKWebView likely resets the scroll origin so it doesn't animate as nicely back down (or hold until the user lets go of the scroll)
• Doesnt work on websites that take over scrolling (twitter timelines for instance)
• Its a bit janky on pages that stick things to the header (like YouTube/Reddit), and you can't see the refresh control

Fixing these issues would require a much more extensive Pull-to-refresh implementation that doesn't rely on the system API
