User reviews

Users find the extension simple and effective for auto-refreshing pages, with helpful features like remembering settings per tab. However, multiple users report inconsistent performance, difficulty finding controls to start refreshing, and errors on installation or specific browsers. Some express security concerns about permissions, while others confirm no issues. Requests include a countdown indicator and safety features to prevent losing work during auto-refreshes. Overall, the extension fulfills its purpose but could benefit from improved reliability, usability, and security transparency.

Pros

Effectively auto-refreshes pages as intended.
Remembers page settings and tabs, maintaining refresh preferences across sessions.
Simple and easy to use interface.
Supports individual tab refresh settings.
Works well for refreshing pages like YouTube without manually clicking reload.

Cons

Sometimes does not work consistently or fails to function on certain pages.
Absence or difficulty in finding a 'start' button or clear control to begin refreshing.
Occasional errors after installation such as 'ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND' and errors in Edge browser versions.
Concerns about security due to permissions requiring access to all pages and some reports of malware detection warnings (though some say these are false).
No option to hide the number of times the page has been refreshed or provide warnings when typing to prevent losing work.

can' work on page with GET METHOD variable like index.php?page=1 index.php?page=2 index.php?page=3

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, overall it's not bad. But unfortunately the developer didn't keep iterating, and the extension will be taken down soon. I'm glad that a friend has developed a new alternative version: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/auto-refreshreload-page/jkkneijkabiphldlfbnkcalhmajdighn
