Notify user when the browser may have to be closed and reopened

Consider having the DefensX flash red when a setting change may require the browser to be closed and reopened. When the user clicks on the extension, display a message that the browser may not work properly until it is closed and reopened; along with an OK button - which stops the extension from flashing red.
I changed the Policies > Policy Groups > Deployments > Dave_Desktop > Settings > Incognito Mode setting and was blocked from some websites.

Since browsers do not provide a way to retrieve the last policy refresh time or query specific settings at runtime, we currently can’t control or speed up the process directly from the client side.
Policy changes generally take up to 20 minutes to take effect, which can be critical when testing newly configured settings in the DefensX Backend and expecting immediate results on a test computer.
To improve clarity, we will add an informational prompt in the backend whenever the Incognito mode setting is changed from "disabled" to "enabled." This prompt will help ensure that admins are aware of the policy refresh timing, as well as offer guidance on how to test settings adjustments without waiting for the full refresh period.
