What is Auto Refresh With Notifications?
Auto Refresh With Notifications is a bespoke Chrome extension designed to automate the task of frequent manual refreshes. Particularly useful for sites like Amazon or Instacart, it keeps refreshing the page until it locates the expected content, excluding specified ones. It also notifies the user with sounds, which users can customize through the 'Notification Text'. To make the most of it, users are advised to disable their device's screen saver mode and prevent it from going to sleep. For assistance, reach out through Twitter: @LittleMelonDev.

Used to be excellent despite a few kinks, but now it no longer works AT ALL. You click for it to start and it reloads the page just once and then immediately stops itself, it is broken. Pls fix and I'll change my rating to 5 once again.
