Tutorial

TabCarousel is simple: open tabs you want to monitor throughout the day, then click the toolbar icon. To stop, click the icon again.

By default, TabCarousel will flip through your tabs every 15 s, reloading them every 5 min. It's great on a unused display or TV. Put Chrome in full-screen mode (F11, or cmd-shift-f on the Mac) and let it go.

It works great. The best part is that it requires zero extra permissions. It would be 5 stars if it allowed me to change the auto refresh time or disable it.

It's good, but very disappointing you can't use full screen mode
