## Description

Darrells ReLoader lets you automatically refresh any browser tab on a schedule you choose — from as little as 5 seconds up to as long as you need.

FEATURES
• Custom interval — set any refresh interval from 5 seconds upward
• Persistent — your session survives closing the popup or restarting the browser
• Visual status — the toolbar icon turns green when active and red when stopped
• Safe — blocked from running on system pages (about:, moz-extension://, etc.)
• Lightweight — uses a content-script timer so short intervals work without workarounds

HOW TO USE
1. Navigate to the tab you want to auto-reload
2. Click the Darrells ReLoader icon
3. Enter your desired interval in seconds
4. Click Start — the icon turns green and reloading begins
5. Click Stop at any time to cancel — the icon turns red

PERMISSIONS
• Host access (<all_urls>) — required to inject the reload timer into your chosen tab. No page content is read.
• tabs, scripting, alarms, storage — standard browser APIs for tab management, script injection, keepalive, and saving your session locally.

No data is collected, transmitted, or shared. Everything stays on your device.
