Phillip Bryan (ID: 000000d278c50ed0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/05/2024 - Changing my old review -- the plugin is working again and very useful

Swede Odén (ID: 000000e60df41f85) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/20/2020 Works great in Chrome 84 (aug 2020). I set ALT + R for it (read the instructions on where to find it). This plugin saves a ton when you elaborate in Console's Elements Tab with classes etc. It's sooo nice to have such a convenient CSS-only-reload. My only regret (besides having boneitis) is that I didn't look for this earlier.
