Twitter Auto Refresh - Chrome Extension for Up-to-date Twitter Timeline

"Twitter Auto Refresh" is a handy Chrome extension designed to keep your Twitter timeline fresh by automatically refreshing it when you scroll to the top. This extension refreshes every 3 seconds by default. Users are advised to not set the refresh interval too low to prevent surpassing the API limit. It has recently been updated to fix a bug where auto-refresh was functioning on other tabs.

User reviews
I gave this extension 3 out of 5 starts, because it auto refreshes my Twitter/X timeline in Chrome. However, the extension is stuck on the default setting to refresh every 3 seconds. Normally I wouldn't mind this, but this causes me to hit my rate limit incredibly fast. If this can be fixed then I'll update my rating to 5 stars.
