[X] This issue contains only one feature request. (and a minor bug report)
Problem Description
I sometimes find myself in the need of a reload function. Currently I click back and forward or click the channel and back. By the way quickly clicking back and forward almost always results in a race condition where the "back video" is loaded in place of the "forward video" (and playback position of "forward video" is applied to "back video").
Proposed Solution
Add a reload button next to back and forward buttons. And maybe fix the race condition if there is time to spare.
Alternatives Considered
Sticking to the old "back and forward" dance.
Issue Labels
ease of use improvement
Additional Information
Affects all versions I used so far, which are some since some years.
AppImage, Pipewire and (but race condition seems not limited to following to me) NixOS unstable, Wayland and NVIDA
If generating to much sus traffic by abusing the reload button is a potential issue, I'd be fine with a cooldown function being attached to it.
