## Description

Custom Auto Refresh is a lightweight auto refresh extension that reloads the current tab on a custom interval. Set a refresh timer in milliseconds, seconds, minutes, or hours, and use it for dashboards, live pages, auctions, tickets, reports, monitoring tools, or any page that needs regular automatic reloading.

Built for simple tab refresh workflows, Custom Auto Refresh includes flexible settings for hard reload, refreshing immediately, stopping after a maximum number of refreshes, and stopping after a time limit. Refresh schedules and settings stay local on your device. The extension does not collect browsing data, track users, show ads, or send data to a remote service.
