Technical Details Performance Considerations While Reload All Tabs is optimized for efficiency, reloading many tabs simultaneously will temporarily increase CPU and RAM usage. This is normal browser behavior as each page reloads its content. The impact is brief and your system will return to normal once all tabs finish loading. For best performance: - Close tabs you no longer need before reloading - Consider reloading tabs in batches if you have hundreds open - Ensure your system has adequate resources for your typical tab count Compatibility - Works with the latest versions of Google Chrome - Compatible with all standard web pages - Functions across multiple browser windows - Works with both HTTP and HTTPS sites Permissions Reload All Tabs only requests the minimal permissions necessary to function: - Access to tabs: Required to identify and reload open tabs - No access to browsing history - No access to personal data - No background processes running What Reload All Tabs Doesn't Do To maintain simplicity and respect your privacy, this extension intentionally does NOT: - Track your browsing habits or history - Collect any personal information - Require account creation or login - Automatically reload tabs on a schedule - Selectively reload specific tabs (it's all or nothing) - Store any data about your browsing session - Communicate with external servers - Display advertisements - Modify page content Tips for Best Results Manage Your Tabs Before reloading, close any tabs you no longer need. This reduces the load on your system and makes the reload process faster. Pin Important Tabs Chrome's pinned tabs feature works perfectly with Reload All Tabs. Pin your most important tabs to keep them organized and ensure they reload along with everything else. Use Multiple Windows Strategically If you use multiple browser windows, remember that Reload All Tabs affects the active window only. Click the extension icon in each window separately to reload all tabs across your entire browsing session. Bookmark Sessions For very large tab collections, consider using Chrome's bookmark manager to save groups of tabs before reloading, providing an easy way to recover if something goes wrong. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does this extension work on specific tabs only? A: No, it reloads all tabs in the current browser window. It's designed for simplicity and speed. Q: Will my form data be lost when tabs reload? A: Most modern websites save form data automatically, but unsaved work may be lost. Save important work before reloading tabs. Q: Can I schedule automatic reloads? A: No, this extension only reloads tabs when you click the icon. Automatic reloading is not included to respect your control over browser behavior. Q: Does it work with Chrome extensions? A: The extension reloads regular web pages. Chrome extension pages and system pages cannot be reloaded by third-party extensions due to browser security restrictions. Q: How much memory does it use? A: The extension itself uses minimal memory. However, reloading all tabs will temporarily increase resource usage as pages reload. About Performance Impact When you reload multiple tabs simultaneously, your browser must re-fetch and re-render each page. This is identical to manually reloading each tab, but happens all at once. Depending on your system specifications and number of open tabs, you may experience: - Brief CPU spike as pages begin loading - Temporary increase in network activity - Short period of increased RAM usage - Possible brief browser responsiveness delay with 50+ tabs These effects are temporary and normal. Your system will return to baseline performance once all tabs finish loading. If you regularly work with hundreds of tabs, consider upgrading your RAM or using Chrome's built-in tab groups to organize and reload tabs in smaller batches.
