Completely new design that still lacks pull to refresh. Honestly which developer hates that ui design aspect. It's been filed multiple times and more recently as a bug. at this point it rightfully is a bug

I hate pull to refresh.

I would like swiping on address bar to switch tabs, though.

Swipe to switch tabs has recently been added to the nightly releases:

I don't see what there is to hate. It's a very deliberate gesture

I don't know when the last time I refreshed a website on mobile was. It's entirely possible that it could be coded in such a way that I wouldn't notice or accidentally refresh when I'm simply trying to scroll to the top of a page, but I think it's more likely that I wouldn't intentionally use it ever, but I would trigger it accidentally on occasion

Unless you're scrolling a lagging Twitter view and can't tell if you're momentarily frozen or already at the top.

Here's the thing... sometimes when you unload Fenix and then open a link from another app, the browser will fail to load... you get a white screen... and the page never loads, but at least you can pull to refresh, which does nothing... (press Back to get out of this state)

So the only time you can "pull to refresh" is when Fenix doesn't work!
