Seychellian (ID: 00000077b7dd1fc7) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/06/2020 This extension was causing Chrome to refresh twice every time I opened a page. It was annoying the hell out of me and I couldnt work out which extension was causing it. Through trail and error I narrowed it down to Dark Theme for Facebook. After removing it everythign went back to normal.
