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.
