A slideshow for the web.... Revolver - Tabs

Revolver - Tabs takes your current open tabs and rotates between each of them pausing for as many seconds as you like and continuing until you stop it. Revolver - Tabs can reload the tabs on each view or not if you choose. Optionally Revolver - Tabs can wait while you are active in your browser and only rotate when you are inactive.

** We'd like to thank Wayne Goyer for sharing some significant and highly requested updates. The power of open source software! **

This was created for using Google Chrome full-screen to power unattended screens like kiosks or tv displays where rotating dynamic/live web content is needed.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions...

Jared Shields (ID: 000000a139936993) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/06/2023 Top notch extension, works perfectly with a window and interacting with other windows does not interfere with operation. Many good features such as the option to refresh on switching to a tab or not. My only wish is that I could specify certain tabs within a window to cycle, rather than all of the tabs in one window.

Bry Capo (ID: 00000084dfad6e63) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/08/2023 Works good, but wish you gave the option to set the time increment before switching to the next tab instead of just the default setting.
