## Description

AutoReload is a free, open-source Chrome extension designed to automatically reload one or multiple browser tabs at customized intervals. It offers full control to the user with features like customizable reload timings, easy toggling to enable or disable reloading on active tabs, and an idle timeout feature that pauses reloading when your computer becomes inactive.

With settings for default reload intervals and idle timeouts, AutoReload is a perfect tool for developers, testers, or anyone needing fresh tab content regularly without manual refreshes. Access the extension from your toolbar for quick control over tab refresh behavior.
