## Description

Auto Refresh Page makes it easy to automatically reload the current tab or multiple matching tabs at customizable intervals. Configure predefined or custom timers (seconds, minutes, hours), enable random refreshes, perform hard refreshes that clear cache, and receive sound or popup notifications. The extension also supports file:/// pages, visual countdowns, and an option to stop after a set number of refreshes or by clicking the page.

Save and manage multiple refresh presets per page, auto-start a URL when the browser opens, import/export settings, and review or control refreshes across tabs. Free features are available with optional premium upgrades for advanced functionality. Minimum refresh time is 2 seconds. For support or feedback, contact the developer and leave a review to help improve the extension.
