Auto Refresh Page is a Chrome extension that automatically reloads any page or tab after a user-specified interval. Set a fixed seconds interval, enable random timings, or schedule refreshes at specific times, and refresh across all open tabs.

Advanced options: clear cache on refresh, search for text or regular expressions on updated pages, display notifications, save preferences, and automatically click buttons or links during refresh. You can also run custom JavaScript on page refresh and manage per-page automation via a URL list.

User Reviews

User feedback is mixed. The core auto-refresh feature and UI are praised, with mentions of good design and notifications. However, many reviews condemn the extension for hijacking links and injecting affiliate/tracking URLs to monetize users, describing it as covert affiliate fraud. This leads to trust and privacy concerns, with several reviewers recommending uninstalling and clearing cookies. The dominant recurring issue is link hijacking and affiliate fraud, which outweighs the perceived benefits for a substantial portion of users.

Pros

Reliable auto-refresh functionality praised by multiple users.
Well-designed and feature-rich interface.
Cross-browser presence and positive note about migrating to Firefox (and prior Opera support).
Notifications (audible alerts) appreciated by some users.

Cons

Hijacks clicked links and routes them through third-party affiliate/tracking URLs.
Injects affiliate links and engages in covert affiliate fraud (cookie stuffing).
Erodes trust with privacy and security concerns; multiple reviews advise uninstalling and clearing cookies.

Is Auto Refresh Page Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Auto Refresh Page requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Auto Refresh Page may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
