[Feature request] Reload extension from right-click menu

[papadoc]

When you right-click an extension's icon, there are options to disable and remove. It'd be convenient to also have an option to reload, particularly for extension devs, but regular users might find it useful in certain troubleshooting scenarios as well.

Reloading the current tab has the same effect of reloading the extension.(you may do it via F5 or mouse gesture)
Or you may try these solutions:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-ch...n-reloader

"Reloading the current tab has the same effect of reloading the extension."

Only true of content scripts IME. Any other scripts tend to need for the extension to be reloaded. Appreciate the suggestions, but none of them are exactly what I'm looking for. I side-load quite a few extensions which I occasionally work on, so I was asking for a quicker, simpler way to reload them. I realize you consider the value to the user base vs how much work will go into the feature, and this one might not meet that standard. Couldn't hurt to ask though. =)

We may add this feature in 4.1 version, if it doesn't need too much work.

+1 from me to this, because I sideload my unpacked extensions too and I would like to see them updated without having to restart the browser
