Refreshing a Page vs Restarting the Browser

Refreshing a page and restarting your browser solve different problems.

When to refresh

Refresh (F5 or Ctrl+R) when results look stale, incomplete, or don't appear on a specific page. This reloads the page content.

When to restart

Close and reopen your browser when the extension itself isn't responding, icons are missing, or refresh didn't help. Restarting clears temporary browser state that can cause issues.
