Dev Extensions Reload

Dev Extensions Reload is a Chrome extension designed specifically for extension developers. It allows you to quickly reload enabled unpacked extensions directly from any tab using a customizable shortcut (default Alt-Z) or via the context menu. This tool speeds up the development process by letting you reload only enabled extensions, and if the Options page is open, it will restart that as well.

Additional features include the ability to reload the active tab, which is particularly useful for content script extension development, and an option to disable the reload feature from the context menu if preferred. Note that reloading will close the background debugger window due to Chrome API limitations. The extension source code is openly available on GitHub, encouraging transparency and community contributions.

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.

Dev extensions reload requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
