## Description

The Reload Button Chrome extension enhances your browsing experience by adding a dedicated reload button to the browser toolbar. This extension is designed to work alongside the Stop Button extension, allowing users to have separate controls for stopping and reloading pages rather than the default combined button.

By default, the reload button appears on the right side of the browser window, but users can easily customize its location through the browser's customize mode. This gives you cleaner and more precise control over page reloads, improving navigation and efficiency while browsing the web.
