double opens some links at random real annoying
not working ..... reloading 1 time only then got stuck
Only refreshes the tab once, then sits there doing nothing
Worked well until April, since then flopped and caused me more trouble with not being reliable than if I didn't use it at all.
Reloads only once and stops. Timer works, but no reload.
This should have been a good extension but it is not. This is because it applies the refresh to all tabs. I have gone back to using Auto Refresh Plus Old Version as it does not need to see page data and is tab specific. Now I remember why I stopped using Auto Refresh Plus Old Version. This is a very sneaky program as it does not to read data until you do the refresh.....STAY AWAY. The hunt for a proper refresh extension continues. Nick
Latest update removed the ability to reload all tabs. Uninstalling and finding something else.
Just stops working out of nowhere randomly.
Do not install! It does what it says, but it also contains malware that randomly opens ads in new tabs.
In Firefox, it works fine, but in Chrome, it just reloads randomly. I set it to 10, 15, or 30 sec, and when the countdown is over, the countdown starts over again but it does not refresh the tab at all. I would say, it refreshes every 3 or 4 countdown timers. I tried different values, random factor... to no avail. Apart from the very 1st countdown, it only refreshes when it feels like refreshing. Unuseful..
Doesn't keep the time and the cache. I set it to reload 01:00:00, i.e. every hour (with variation 0%). Started at 16:01 yesterday, today it reloads 20 min. after the hour. I also checked the "Use cache when reloading" box to keep an entry I made on the website to be reloaded each hour (!), but after the fifth reload, the browser window reload had dropped the entry. Not so great.
Works fine in the start but after some time pages donot reload at all. USELESS!
Worked fine for a while but now keeps turning off and pages do not reload. Useless now.
It was working great until yesterday, it was reloading the tab I needed every 15 seconds, but today (04/08/2022) the timer goes to 1 minute and i'm not even sure if it's properly reloading.
doesn't always work. and when the primary goal of the extention is to do auto reload, that's basically the whole point....two stars rather than one because when it works, it exactly what i needed. but i can't rely on it, so i'm looking for a different solution .
Does not properly manage the "Confirm Form Resubmission" popup in the sense that it prevents it from appearing but the way it manages it is not transparent to the server therefore the server resets the session and requires a new login.
i installed it, to prevent certain pages to auto-refresh, but didn't work at all. In fact i set the timer to 1 day for 3 pages, but all of them proceed to refresh as they normally would. Also too many options confuses the average user. It would be nicer to to put one-click options such as stop-auto refresh permantly. One-click options that are currently exists do not seem to function properly such as "do not reload if tab is active". I understand the effort to create such an open-source extension and that many people use it differently than i am, but i can't put more stars just because it got created by skilled people that put a lot of time to it, if it doesnt work as it should or intended.
The extension does what it says, but it adds 4 or 5 listings to the top of every google.com search labeled as "ad". This is not in their descriptions so which other spyware or redirecting could this be doing? Make sure to disable it when not in use.
not working.
Helpful function "Do not reload if tab is active", it nice. But I will give you 5 stars if you provide auto-confirm function for some tabs as in "super auto refresh" extension.
Couldn't get this to work at all. It's not really auto; you have to reset it every time you open a site.
As others have mentioned, on Chrome (Or Brave), it sometimes works, but sometimes doesn't I didn't even notice it until recently as I use it to refresh a webpage for work and I thought something was odd, as I wasn't getting many items to action But digging a bit deeper it just stops working all of a sudden, the timer will countdown, reset, but nothing happens Works fine in Firefox though
The last update seems to have broken the extension. It does not update websites correctly any more.
totally stopped working a few days ago
Hello. When your tab reloaded extension is active if I maximize or even resize a window to get it bigger it will reload the page even though tab reloaded is not enabled to that or any tab. Please fix it, it’s really annoying.
While useful this stops working periodically with no explanation. When working it's fine but it's been hit or miss in my experiences.
Used to love this extension but since the latest update it does not function unless the almost-full screen settings page is open in the tab I need reloading, which defeats the purpose of the extension. The previous version was a 5, but now is a 0, and I am searching for other extensions to replace this one.
I need it to refresh the page every 10 seconds, and I have it set to do that, but it is only refreshing every 30 seconds. It counts down the 10 seconds but does not refresh the page until after 30 seconds. This worked fine until the update yesterday.
This was amazing but the update today set the minimum timer to 10 seconds, which removes all utility for me. So it was previously a 5. For what I need it for, it's a zero.
The reloader gets disabled after sometime when working with chrome through remote desktop, Very surprisingly the badge counter shows the tab count even though the reloader gets auto disabled by itself!
only did a few of the things advertised
Broken as of 28/05/21 Seems to randomly turn off.
It is helpful, but pops up a new tab requesting a review. It should not do ANYTHING beyond what it is told by the user (refresh existing tabs).
Worked great for a while but now it doesn't seem to reliably work after closing and restoring the browser. I have to go back and turn it on again.
