Just Normal Web Things

That seems unnecessarily complex compared to watching for a request to the same webpage, intercepting, and dropping the request. I believe that is all the refresh function is doing.

Now ofc I wouldn't give any executives that idea. Don't mess with expected user functionality, that's like UX 101. if I see my navigation tampered with, I flag that site as spam.

Depends on one's determination and motives there are many ways to "disable refresh". One motive I imagine and don't approve is some want their website to feel like a mobile app, for whatever reason.

I don't think you can drop a window refresh event in JS?
