Description

Tab Auto Refresh is a browser addon that helps you automatically reload (refresh) tabs of your choice. To operate with this addon, please open toolbar popup UI while you are visiting a website. Adjust time interval in seconds (i.e. 120 sec) and you are all set. Selected tab will be reloaded based on the interval you just set. Please note reloading occurs based on tab URL not tab ID or domain. If you want to stop the current "reload" task, please press on the "stop" button at top left corner in toolbar popup UI. Alternatively you can set the interval to 0 which is equal to stop function. If you have many tabs reloading and do not want to visit each tab to clear the reloading task, please open toolbar popup UI and press on the "reset" (top right) button to do so. This button serves as a global reset button and clears the reloading task for all tabs. Note: The toolbar popup interface supports dark mode. To switch the popup interface theme to dark, please press the moon icon on the bottom left corner. To report bugs, please visit addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/tab-auto-refresh.html) and fill the bug report form.

Extreme performance issues, using almost 70% of memory constantly. Had to remove to regain PC performance.

It doesn't work for me either. It looks from the reviews like this used to work well for most. Perhaps it stopped working after some browser version update but, whatever the reason, this is no good for me now I'm afraid.

Doesn't work. Displays nothing after click.

It's getting reset every time for some reason, maybe due to changes in URL. This is unusable to me.

Can't really recommend this plugin. Doesn't really work correctly and won't reset the URL to the original one set for reload. Can't even tell if it's reloading at all. Website isn't very helpful. Giving suggestions or asking for further information on how to use the plugin since the information isn't on the website is met with silence. The developer should either answer questions or at least add the information to the website so everyone who may have the same question can benefit.

I don't like self opening tabs and I especially don't like online telemetry self opening tabs with ads on them.

It was working fine up until a few weeks ago. Now it refreshes once, and turns itself off.

It keeps picking up the "current URL" from other Chrome Windows on other monitors, not the current/actual tab. Isn't going to work for me as such.
