Extension summary

This will automatically click on the load new tweets but only if you are at the top of the page. Many of the other extensions will always click on it which causes you to scroll back to the top of the screen. This one takes into account where you are at the page and will only "click" the load link when you are at the top.

does not work, still force to ckick to see new tweets.. useless..
by Guillaume Cadoret, 2019-11-10

Works OK in itself, but when loaded the front page of twitter doesn't update on first load. You get the previous visit's content. You have to visit twitter.com twice to get the latest content. Not much use having a twitter refresher that doesn't itself refresh. After the new content appears it works OK from then on.
