User reviews

Users appreciate 'Auto refresh page' for its simplicity, hard refresh capability, and helpful countdown display, making it excellent for timely updates. However, repeated requests include adding a random refresh mode, remembering daily settings, improving multi-window support, and starting countdown immediately after page load. Some users desire better UI customization and more reliable stop-refresh controls. Overall, it is valued for quick auto-refresh without heavy permission requirements but still has room for feature enhancements.

Pros

Automatically refreshes pages quickly, useful for timely updates (e.g., Amazon products, OpsGenie alerts).
Simple, lightweight, and easy to use with an intuitive interface.
Performs a hard refresh rather than a simple reload, ensuring the latest content is loaded.
Does not require unnecessary permissions, enhancing privacy and security.
Displays countdown timer and stops refreshing when the page is clicked, aiding user control.

Cons

Lacks a 'random mode' for varied refresh intervals as requested by multiple users.
Does not remember daily countdown settings or auto-start for specific websites or on Firefox launch.
Functionality issues with multiple windows and occasional ignoring of stop-click commands.
Starts countdown only after full page load instead of immediately, causing delay in refresh cycle.
User interface could be improved, such as moving the timer display and enhancing customization options.

I'm an Amazon Vine user. Amazon Vine doesn't notify you when new products are added. So, to check for new additions, you have to reload the page yourself. However, good products disappear quickly, so I use this add-on to automatically reload the page every 2 seconds to get them faster than others.

Extension safety

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
