Live Reload

Monitors source files on a page. Reloads the page or just the changed stylesheet when source files are updated.

Live Reload: Auto Page Reloader Chrome Extension

"Live Reload" is a Chrome extension that lets users monitor included scripts, stylesheets or frames on a webpage based on user-defined rules. Once changes are detected, Live Reload triggers a reload, refreshing either the whole page or just the updated file. However, due to security restrictions, files served via the file system cannot be monitored. This can be resolved by serving local files over HTTP. For any issues, users can create a request on Github or reach the developer via email.
