Reviews of tab reloader (page auto refresh):
The last update seems to have broken the extension. It does not update websites correctly any more.
This saved me so much time. The best auto reload plugin so far
Works as advertised. Clean interface; simple but highly effective.
Works fine in the start but after some time pages donot reload at all. USELESS!
great
good
Sound is not working other is ok?
Worked fine for a while but now keeps turning off and pages do not reload. Useless now.
totally stopped working a few days ago
very nice
Just stops working out of nowhere randomly.
There are pros and cons, but on balance I'm recommending it. On the downside, the interface is very unpolished compared to other refresh extensions. Functional, yes, but not a joy to use. Having the count of timed tabs on the icon is an interesting idea, but I really need to see a countdown on my tabs. I know I can click it, but this is pretty standard behavior in the category. I do like that it maintains my timers after a restart. That's key for me, and goes a long way towards forgiving all the rest of it. Overall, it's not the best I've used, but it's very good and I hope the developer continues to polish things a bit.
Great app
It was working great until yesterday, it was reloading the tab I needed every 15 seconds, but today (04/08/2022) the timer goes to 1 minute and i'm not even sure if it's properly reloading.
Worked well until April, since then flopped and caused me more trouble with not being reliable than if I didn't use it at all.
doesn't always work. and when the primary goal of the extention is to do auto reload, that's basically the whole point....two stars rather than one because when it works, it exactly what i needed. but i can't rely on it, so i'm looking for a different solution .
Works great!
Reloads only once and stops. Timer works, but no reload.
This should have been a good extension but it is not. This is because it applies the refresh to all tabs. I have gone back to using Auto Refresh Plus Old Version as it does not need to see page data and is tab specific. Now I remember why I stopped using Auto Refresh Plus Old Version. This is a very sneaky program as it does not to read data until you do the refresh.....STAY AWAY. The hunt for a proper refresh extension continues. Nick
Hello. When your tab reloaded extension is active if I maximize or even resize a window to get it bigger it will reload the page even though tab reloaded is not enabled to that or any tab. Please fix it, it’s really annoying.
While useful this stops working periodically with no explanation. When working it's fine but it's been hit or miss in my experiences.
easy to use, always working!!
really cool extension, we use it to auto reload google slides to show messages on hallway TVs.
Latest update removed the ability to reload all tabs. Uninstalling and finding something else.
Used to love this extension but since the latest update it does not function unless the almost-full screen settings page is open in the tab I need reloading, which defeats the purpose of the extension. The previous version was a 5, but now is a 0, and I am searching for other extensions to replace this one.
I need it to refresh the page every 10 seconds, and I have it set to do that, but it is only refreshing every 30 seconds. It counts down the 10 seconds but does not refresh the page until after 30 seconds. This worked fine until the update yesterday.
This was amazing but the update today set the minimum timer to 10 seconds, which removes all utility for me. So it was previously a 5. For what I need it for, it's a zero.
THANK YOU !! :)
The reloader gets disabled after sometime when working with chrome through remote desktop, Very surprisingly the badge counter shows the tab count even though the reloader gets auto disabled by itself!
The only reloader i have found that doesn't require the “read and change all your data on the websites you visit” permission.
Works great! Thank you.
Please, add a sync via Google Drive and/or Dropbox, something else.
only did a few of the things advertised
Does not properly manage the "Confirm Form Resubmission" popup in the sense that it prevents it from appearing but the way it manages it is not transparent to the server therefore the server resets the session and requires a new login.
Super helpful extension!! ?
i installed it, to prevent certain pages to auto-refresh, but didn't work at all. In fact i set the timer to 1 day for 3 pages, but all of them proceed to refresh as they normally would. Also too many options confuses the average user. It would be nicer to to put one-click options such as stop-auto refresh permantly. One-click options that are currently exists do not seem to function properly such as "do not reload if tab is active". I understand the effort to create such an open-source extension and that many people use it differently than i am, but i can't put more stars just because it got created by skilled people that put a lot of time to it, if it doesnt work as it should or intended.
I was looking for it! And it's match my all requirements.
The extension does what it says, but it adds 4 or 5 listings to the top of every google.com search labeled as "ad". This is not in their descriptions so which other spyware or redirecting could this be doing? Make sure to disable it when not in use.
Great one!
Superb.
Broken as of 28/05/21 Seems to randomly turn off.
Best page refresher
This is a good step as I m freelancer at fiverr plateform and this really keeps me online by reloading my tab.
Very nicely written extension. Had just the features I was looking for, without being too complicated. Thanks!
nice
+ Requires only the necessary permissions. + Resets its timer when I refresh the tab or visit a link on the tab + Provides a lot of functionality - It doesn't offer one-click presets - It doesn't show its countdown timer which would help me figure out on which tabs it's enabled.
Very useful for multi tasking users. :) customized support is very advantage and time saving.
Works great, but shouldn't there be an option to display a timer? How else do I know exactly how long until refresh?
wonderful and exactly as advertised however it doesn't count the number of times it's reloaded the page. Here's a short script to do that: ```javascript let rs = parseInt(localStorage.getItem('reloadedCount')) let reloadCount = isNaN(rs) ? 0 : rs reloadCount++ localStorage.setItem("reloadedCount", reloadCount.toString()) console.log("reloaded " + reloadCount) ``` (omit ```, md just habit) to reset the count: localStorage.setItem("reloadedCount", 0)
Do not install! It does what it says, but it also contains malware that randomly opens ads in new tabs.
smart
Wish more developers were like this... thank you!
This tab refresh Chrome Extension is PERFECT! THANK YOU! I needed an extension that refreshed a Chrome tab on the basis of the Tab itself and not the url in the tab. Other extensions refresh the tabs on the basis of URL which means that every tab that has the url open will all refresh. You have solved my issue perfectly.
Installation is fast and easy. It does exactly what I need it to do (reload a tab on a periodic basis) without forcing me through an options tree.
Simply works as advertised. One of (extremely) few extensions that doesn't require god-tier permissions to run.
Free and very useful.Thank you a bunch
Exceptional Chrome extension!! Did exactly what I needed to do (behaved like a CRON job with a GUI toolbar UI), and did not include all of these crazy permissions like changing every file attached to my browser. Great find, thanks Reddit!
Proper chrome permissions.
Works fine and doesn't need a lot of permissions unlike a lot of other refreshers
It is helpful, but pops up a new tab requesting a review. It should not do ANYTHING beyond what it is told by the user (refresh existing tabs).
Did exactly what I was looking for, THANKS! Two suggestions, the enable buttons on my screen were very tiny, and improve the timer setting process, it's an odd way to enter time.
This is very good extension. Other extensions are worst but this is best.
Very nice that it remembers the refresh settings even after closing the browser!
Worked great for a while but now it doesn't seem to reliably work after closing and restoring the browser. I have to go back and turn it on again.
Helpful function "Do not reload if tab is active", it nice. But I will give you 5 stars if you provide auto-confirm function for some tabs as in "super auto refresh" extension.
Works great, I especially like the session restore. Wishlist: 1) Save default reload settings somewhere 2) Automatically enable on certain URLs or domains
