Joshua Little (ID: 000000205725d644) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2022 Better page refresher

Gregory Ellis (ID: 000000096219cd31) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/25/2022 Great app - but sometimes it doesn't work. Worked great for a couple months, but then all of a sudden a couple times per week it just won't work. A chromebook restart fixes it, although once I had to reinstall it. Otherwise, nifty extension.
