Yeah, pull-to-refresh doesn't make sense on a web browser at all IMO. Its obvious, specific application is "refreshing a vertical list of entries, typically populated via a network request". This action doesn't map well to "loading a page of content".

One fundamental point of the interaction is that you're already scrolling to the top of the list because you're viewing a reverse-chronologically-sorted list of network-driven content. If, after hitting the top of the list, you keep trying to scroll up, you're already suggesting to the software that you want to see more. On a website, this implication doesn't apply. I'm just trying to get to the top of the page.
