ChromeReloadPlus

Automatically reload a page. Configure interval between page refreshes and see a count-down until the next refresh.

ChromeReloadPlus reloads any page on a schedule you control, and shows the countdown right on the extension icon. Open the popup, pick an interval, and the tab refreshes itself — perfect for dashboards, monitoring pages, waiting rooms, ticket queues, auction pages, development servers and anything else that needs a periodic refresh. WHY PEOPLE USE IT - Keep a status dashboard, build page or queue up to date without touching it. - Refresh a page that has no auto-refresh of its own. - Wait for a slot, a result or a restock while doing something else. - Reload a local development page every few seconds while editing. - Switch between a few favourite intervals without opening the settings page. INTERVALS Pick a ready-made interval (5 seconds to 30 minutes) or a random countdown from the popup. Need something else? Type any value in seconds, minutes or hours at the bottom of the popup, or open the settings page and build your own list: add, remove and reorder rows, give random rows their own min and max, and mark the row the hot-key should use. The "never" entry at the top of the popup always stops reloading. HOTKEY AND COUNTDOWN - Press Ctrl + Alt + R or Ctrl + Alt + F5 on a page to start or stop the reloader with the interval marked in your option list. - The countdown is shown on the toolbar icon: 0:42, 15m, 1h, 1d or ∞ for very long intervals. - A running countdown is delayed automatically while you type or click, so the page does not refresh in the middle of your work. - The countdown is cancelled when you navigate the tab to another address or to a browser page (new tab page, chrome://, edge://, the Web Store), so it never follows you somewhere you did not configure. LANGUAGES AND SYNC - English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, following the browser language by default; you can pin a language in the settings. - Settings (option list, language) can be stored in the cloud and synced automatically across your devices. With sync off they stay on this device only. PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS ChromeReloadPlus asks for two permissions only: - "storage" to save your settings; - "alarms" to wake its background worker while a countdown is running. It does not read browsing history, does not use the "tabs" permission, makes no network requests, contains no analytics and no third-party scripts. Everything runs locally in your browser. MICROSOFT EDGE ChromeReloadPlus is a Manifest V3 extension built on the standard Chromium extension APIs and is tested on Microsoft Edge as well as Chrome-based browsers. The countdown is also cancelled for Edge's own pages (edge://newtab and other edge:// pages), the popup and settings page open the same way, and settings sync works wherever the browser exposes storage.sync. FAQ Is the countdown kept after closing the browser? No. A countdown belongs to the current browser session; the schedule itself is not restored after a restart. Your settings are permanent. Will a page I opened later keep reloading? No. Navigating to another URL or to a browser page cancels the countdown. Can it reload local files? Yes, if you enable "Allow access to file URLs" on the extension details page. Can I use it on chrome:// pages? No. Reloading is disabled on browser pages: the popup shows a short note there and no countdown can be started. Does it reload pages in the background? Yes. A countdown keeps running while the tab is in the background.
