Thank you for your response, I'm sure it'll make the browser easier to 
use. Now, if only the renderer stopped crashing left and right. ;-)

Do you think a proposal like this might be considered? It would make 
sense in the context of pull down to refresh, too. I know iOS has this 
(tap at the top of the screen - not sure this would be doable here); I'm 
not sure about Android, but even the PS Vita browser has this, with a 
not particularly elegant button, and I, _personally_ use this 
functionality a lot.
