Auto Refresh for Chrome Description
Auto Refresh for Chrome is a lightweight browser extension designed to automatically refresh any selected web page. It gives you the possibility to specify the number of minutes and seconds to wait before page reloading.
Reload any webpage automatically
This type of software comes in handy for monitoring a webpage when you’re on the lookout for new or modified content. Since it’s a Chrome extension, it spares you the trouble of using a desktop tool with similar functionality.
When downloading and installing the plugin from the Chrome store, it asks for permission to read and change all your data on the websites that you visit. Afterward, it creates a new icon next to the address bar.
Set the minutes and seconds before auto refresh
After selecting a tab with the target webpage, you can click the Auto Refresh icon and point out the number of minutes, seconds or minutes and seconds to wait until refreshing the page automatically. Default is 15 seconds, which appears every time you click the addon icon. However, you can change this to anything else (“Set Default” button).
Once you click “Start” to trigger the timer, you can keep an eye on the remaining time, which is displayed on the Auto Refresh icon. It’s also possible to stop the timer if you change your mind. However, the remaining time disappears when moving away to a different tab because you can activate the auto reloader for any number of tabs, each with distinct times.
Looking forward to new features
There are no other options provided by the utility. It hasn’t been released for a long time so there’s plenty of room for more features. For example, we would like to use a manager for setting a timer for multiple tabs at the same time, viewing the timers on all tabs, and controlling all opened tabs.
Nevertheless, Auto Refresh for Chrome does its job with minimal effort on your behalf. It’s ideal for users interested in a straightforward solution to schedule webpages to automatically refresh, without worrying about configuration settings.
