## Description

Easy Auto Refresh is a Chrome extension that automatically reloads web pages at configurable intervals. Users can set different refresh delays for each tab or page, with preferences saved uniquely per URL. It remembers your scroll position and pauses counting while typing, ensuring a seamless browsing experience.

The extension supports advanced features including saving preferences per site or domain, random refresh intervals, scheduling refreshes at specific times of day, reloading all tabs in a window, auto-clicking page elements, navigating through a list of URLs, and receiving alerts with notifications and sounds when specific text appears. It also shows timing details and offers cache clearing.

Ideal for monitoring live updates or ensuring pages stay fresh without manual refresh, Easy Auto Refresh streamlines your workflow with customizable automation options.
