I found that there is a hidden search feature which can not be disabled. Huge Dislike.

First it looked good, but since i forgets all settings and does not refresh anything after a boot, it's completely useless.

Don't bother with this one. The time buttons don't change anything. The extension is jammed on 5 seconds permanently. Use "Easy Auto Refresh" instead.

What is the point of this? It monitors your page and then... nothing. There is no audible notification so if you want to know if the page changed you have to look. I can do that just fine without this page monitor.

No notification to imply a change has occurred

Notification of a change in the auto-refreshed page would be very useful but can't see how it works. It needs an audible notification when a page changes and some help tips or wizard to guide the page monitoring mechanism.

Notifications? How? Everyone seems to be having the same experience: Notifications don't work. Also, refreshing only refreshes back to your scroll position less than half the time.

It does not notify you of changes when monitor page is selected.

Added for one specific purpose. That purpose was to be notified when a rare item came in stock. I was not notified and missed it.

Extension adds an extension managed search engine to browser that cannot be independently disabled from the extension. Basically if you ever type "t*space*" in the address bar, it will automatically replace it with searching tejji.com Will disable extension and look for alternative.

It works how it is supposed too, but I don't like that I can't save settings and I absolutely hate how when ever I type t then space it fricken takes me to tejji.com. I will change my review if that one is fixed.

works, poor UI (forgivable) but on ubuntu chromium it causes some kind of memory bug or other error because it crashes the computer over time

no notification. only refreshing

This would get a 5 start if it had an option to disable "Confirm Form Resubmission". Easy Auto Refresh works like a charm.

I don't know if it was just me but it stopped auto-refreshing for random periods, and I had to keep starting it again

This is what i've looking for but there is no option for notifications. I would love to have emails/ or an audible notification when the website i'm refreshing have any changes.

The refresh portion works fine, although the "random" from/to should be in the same units; one is in seconds, one minutes. Also, the "monitor" functionality does nothing.

Reload works, but I didn't get any notification when the page content changes. Either with or without selector.

It definitely works for reloading pages on a time delay, which is pretty cool, but the page monitor feature is broken. It silently fails to recognize changes to the page, and just keeps chugging along as if they weren't there.

As stated previously this app needs notification. It otherwise has useless functions. It will not always continue updating a page when the browser has been closed. Let me give an example, I have a web page that needs to be updated every 10 minutes so we set the page on the 10 mins button. (would be nice if app gave some indication of acceptance) at end of day browser is closed. Following day in most cases it does not carry on you have to open then app and press on 10 min button again.

Would be 5 stars if it had a better layout and less annoying ads.

I find this better than auto refresh, but just realized today that it won't help confirm form submission. Looking for alternative now

Yes it auto refreshes just fine but really, what good is the webpage change monitor if it doesn't notify? Just like the others said. Please add a notification feature. Thanks

Seems stable. But monitor current page does nothing from what I can tell. Seems to work basically like the rest. Still looking for one that will reset the timer when I manually refresh the current page or reset the time when I go to a different page on the same tab.

It's similar to Check4Change more than Page Monitor. But now it doesn't work anymore: it refresh but no more baloon/notifications in system tray

I wish the custom "default time to refresh" field was saved permanently so I didn't have to type it in again each time I restart chrome. Otherwise, works as advertised.

I was looking for an extension to automatically refresh my web page while I edit HTML and CSS in another window. This works well for when I'm editing HTML, but does not reload the linked CSS file.
