is there an explanation for this? Is rendering broken and then fixed by hitting the reload button?
Sorta, generally it's because the page is waiting for some element to load before it renders, and htting the refresh button interrupts that waiting, so the elements that have loaded all render while the refresh request is being sent.
So hitting the ‘stop’ button should give you a partial page, right? Good to know!
I'm so confused. Here in Firefox, the reload-button turns into the stop-button, while it's loading. You cannot hit reload without hitting stop first. Are there browsers, which really keep these buttons separate?
Can't remember on Firefox itself, but on the forks I use, Waterfox and Fennec, it's possible to reload mid-load, on Waterfox with F5, Ctrl R, Ctrl Shift R and/or selecting the address and hitting enter, and on Fennec by using the dragging gesture for reloading until the reload icon appears.
Ah, right, I'm a dumbass. 🙃
I was just thinking of the GUI button, but yeah, of course you can hit the keyboard shortcut to trigger a reload right away...
