Please add ClearRefresh button in Request log

It was very confusing to me that, in the Request log, you first have to click on clear before you refresh to get a new list. I thought the Refresh button cleared automatically.

I suggest that you add a new button, ClearRefresh, left to the current Refresth. ClearRefresh first clear the list and then add the current log.

While I usually would agree that one click is much better than two clicks from a user experience perspective to accomplish a task, I disagree with this suggestion. I can understand that it takes a few seconds to figure out that you need to CLEAR and then REFRESH to get a new list, but adding a ClearRefresh button has a real downside. I am worried about bloating the UI with multiple buttons that have overlapping functions. If we go down that road I think it will make uBlock more difficult and confusing to use in the long run. It would be like having a Word processor with the options "Save, Exit, and Save&Exit" as three separate buttons.

If the CLEAR button was useless by itself, I would agree with you, but there is a use case for wanting to CLEAR the list without refreshing the page. I do this to observe AJAX (xhr) calls.
