Describe the bug

I (too often) end up trying to scroll up on a thread (or want to "pull to refresh" on the thread) and end up triggering the default Chrome (I'm on Android 13) pull-to-refresh on the thread. This breaks any backward navigation and context (timeline position, etc).

It would be great if there was an "app" implemented pull-to-refresh that wouldn't break the above or something. Related, because there are no spinners or other progress indicators when opening a thread, I end up triggering the above more often, because I think I should be able to scroll to get to the root thread, but it hasn't loaded yet.

Request close to the issue #653, right?

They are related but I don't think they are the same. Though depending on how that is fixed it might seem like it fixes this issue (and might for the most common use-case).

But if I had a bunch of navigations in my history and I refreshed that fix would only get me to the timeline, not where I actually came from
