@srirambv that is not the case. I think this is correct behaviour

Not so sure about it. i think page reload shouldn't be restricted just because the panel/banner is being displayed. As a matter of fact i see even if shields is open you can't reload the page. This is not the case on muon. Even with shields being shown you can reload the page. Either the panel/shields/banner should be closed on F5/reload or retain them but independently reload the page(muon behaviour on shields)

I think this is native behaviour for extensions in chromium

Working on macOS for both Chrome & Brave. Seems related to Win/Linux.
