In Firefox, it works fine, but in Chrome, it just reloads randomly. I set it to 10, 15, or 30 sec, and when the countdown is over, the countdown starts over again but it does not refresh the tab at all. I would say, it refreshes every 3 or 4 countdown timers. I tried different values, random factor... to no avail. Apart from the very 1st countdown, it only refreshes when it feels like refreshing. Unuseful..

Does what it says on the tin. Works great and is easy to use, thank you! I'm tired of getting logged out of websites where I need to stay logged in but am busy during the day doing other things. It does help if the sites options are set so cookies and site data to "allow to save data", so that plus this auto refesher should finaly let me stay logged in.
