Facebook Auto-Refresh Blocker

Facebook Auto-Refresh Blocker prevents Facebook from automatically refreshing your feed when you return to the tab after switching away. If you've ever lost your place while scrolling because Facebook refreshed the page, this extension solves that problem. When you switch to another tab or window, Facebook detects the inactivity using the Page Visibility API. After a couple of minutes, when you return, Facebook automatically refreshes the entire feed, losing your scroll position. This extension intercepts those mechanisms and maintains your exact position in the feed. Key Features: - Blocks automatic feed refresh when returning to Facebook tabs - Maintains scroll position and prevents lost content - Simple one-click toggle to enable or disable - Works automatically in the background - Zero data collection and completely private - No external connections or tracking - Lightweight with minimal performance impact Privacy and Security: This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any user data. It works entirely client-side on your device. The extension only accesses Facebook domains and requires minimal permissions: storage for saving your on/off preference locally, and tabs permission to allow the optional reload button in the popup interface. How to Use: 1. Install the extension 2. Visit Facebook - protection is automatic 3. Click the extension icon to toggle on/off or reload the tab 4. Browse Facebook normally without worry about losing your place This extension is completely free with no premium features, paid upgrades, or hidden costs. The code is transparent and designed solely to improve your Facebook browsing experience. This extension is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Facebook or Meta in any way.
