Just Refresh Extension

Just Refresh is an open source extension that automatically refreshes a page on a set interval with one click.

Change the interval by right clicking the icon, and selecting \"Options\". You can auto refresh as many tabs are you like.

If you like the extension, please leave a review and support me here:

New in v1.2: Apply settings to any URL from a given domain

You can view the source of the extension here:
https://github.com/Claxtastic/just-refresh

And find my other projects here:

The extension was designed overall to be minimal and straight to the point. It requires two permissions:
1. activeTab: To access the current tab and start the refresh loop.
2. storage: To locally store the current refresh interval.

Fredrik Andersson (Logiz) (ID: 000000fece53d255) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/24/2022 good extension that dont need special permissions which makes it very safe, i just wanted a simple page refresher and this worked excellent

icon

John Riebe (ID: 00000080bf0fd658) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/06/2021 This is great! It's simple and it works wonderfully. Doesn't ask for ANY permissions either, so you know it's not collecting your data or otherwise creeping on you, unlike every other refresher.

Asiqul Islam Joy (ID: 00000014d257a7eb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/07/2021 GOOD, BUT IT NEEDS MORE FEATURE. You need to add the feature (Auto Start Refreshing when I open a URL that I have saved as a default time) Note:- I will Edit my REVIEW when you solve this problem

Gregorio de Mojeca (ID: 000000094c29cafb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/24/2021 WOW, an auto refresh that does not cause the page to "blink" as it refreshes. It works not as if you tapped F% but as if the pages's "clock" is refreshed. The main thing to remember is do not use it via the browser ICON. Instead open the extension in the Chrome extension page. Click on the EXTENSION OPTIONS (in blue) link/choice. Now enter the DOMAIN (first portion of a URL addresse), ENTER the time, TIC the check box TAP submit and CLOSE that page. WISHLIST::Hope a timed clear cache can be added while still keeping this style exact.
