Colab Autorun and Connect is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your experience with Google's Colaboratory (Colab) notebooks. It automatically connects and reconnects to notebooks, ensuring uninterrupted workflow. Additionally, it offers an option to run the first cell automatically, saving you time.

Key features include desktop notifications when the notebook state changes, the ability to rotate through Colab tabs when the system is idle or locked, and a popup page action showing notebook status and a stopwatch. The extension supports a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+C by default) to quickly access the popup and provides detailed console output for transparency. It adapts to your system's light/dark mode and syncs settings across devices and browser instances. Fully compatible with Firefox Photon design principles and Firefox for Android, this tool streamlines your Colab notebook management. Note that it requires the Colab interface in English and is not intended for cryptocurrency mining.

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.

Colab Autorun and Connect requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
