[Request/Bug] disable pull down to refresh

[gothgirlwife]

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.

Hello everyone :)
I am Rohit, an Android Developer and I am willing to contribute to this project. However, most of the issues are labeled as needs triage none of them are labeled as help wanted. Could you please tell me @marcosholgado, if I am allowed to work on any of the issues?

Same here. This behaviour is super annoying!

Already lost several texts I wrote, because I accidentally pulled down and all form data of a website was lost.

DuckDuckGo browser has just too little setting options to really be of any value.
