ChromeReloadPlus Extension
** WARNING!! THIS EXTENSION IS DEPRECATED. **
Due to Google migrating Chrome Extensions to Manifest V3, the timing mechanism of this extension will no longer work by January 2023.
This extension is currently in deprecated state. Existing users are suggested to look for alternatives by January 2023.
==============================
* Features *
1. Automatically reload your page by time interval.
2. Activate reloader with default interval through keyboard hot-key (Ctrl+Alt+R or Ctrl+Alt+F5)
3. Auto detect key press / mouse click by user and delay reload when necessary.
By default keyboard hot-key is disabled. Please go to the option page to enable hot-key by setting a default interval.
* Q&A *
1. Is it possible to keep refreshing until key pressed?
The timer is reset when a browser tab is reloaded, so the page will keep refreshed by interval until you manually cancel the timer on that browser tab.
