Refresh Active Frame

Refresh active frame or ifrmae with keyboard shortcut, fallback to refresh page if active element is not a frame

Refresh Active Frame Extension

This Chrome extension is designed to enhance your browsing experience on older websites built with frames, commonly seen in the early 2000s. With the Refresh Active Frame extension, you can effortlessly refresh only the active frame or iframe using a keyboard shortcut, thereby avoiding the cumbersome process of reloading the entire page.

Simply click on the desired frame to focus, then press the designated shortcut (Cmd+Ctrl+R on Mac or Alt+Shift+R on other platforms) to refresh it. If you're visiting a site without frames, the extension will intelligently revert to refreshing the whole page. Customize your keyboard shortcuts easily from chrome://extensions/shortcuts to fit your workflow!

Exactly what i needed

Adley Damaceno, 2015-12-01

It does not work like the "Reload Frame" also its unable to refresh single Frames, it refreshes only the Mainframe, but if there are 2 Frames within a Frame, both are refreshed, not only the Active. The "Reload Frame" was able to do it before, but Google removed it, now Chrom eis broken! Also its useless as Button, i need this in the Right-Click Context Menu please and it must work like the "Reload Frame" and also with single Frames, no matter how nested they are, just like before with "Reload Frame" else Chrome just became useless.
