## Description

I'm a developer who removes the "refresh" button and only uses <code>location.reload(1)</code> for a robust hard reload. But I find it often non-practical especially when I have to refocus the console to issue the command. I don't always find it practical using too many hotkeys either.

With this extension, I aim to provide a simple button, when clicked, it hard reloads the page making sure the latest code is being used.
