"Make sure you’ve done a hard refresh of the page" An inception bar could include a fake refresh button, no?

  Could, but chrome mobile doesn't have one at the top level... Guess it could fake the whole menu too

  This is why I think removing the physical (as in, below the screen --- whether they're capacitive or actual pushbuttons isn't the point here) buttons from Android devices is a horrible idea; a webpage can mess around with what's on the screen, but it can't stop the user pressing the physical menu button and choosing Refresh from there.

    Soft buttons can't be covered by a normal web page either, though.

  By "hard refresh" I took that to mean using the keyboard to forcibly reload the page and all assets, e.g. CTRL-F5 on Windows. Of course, the average user probably doesn't use keyboard commands, or even know this one exists.

    Your phone has a keyboard?

      Hah, yeah, that was a silly thing to say :)

  Thanks, and yes! I was originally thinking "pull-to-refresh", but since your comment, I've enhanced the phishing with another trick: a large buffer at the top of the scroll jail, which prevents the user from reaching the top, and thus prevents the user from using "pull-to-refresh". Now, the only way I know to reliably get out of the page is to move to another app, then back to Chrome - this seems to cause it to re-display the true URL bar.

    You can scroll down from the inception bar to display the browser bar again
