2023-09-18	Кулаков Евгений	Отличное расширение! Большое спасибо! По последних версиях Chrome не корректно отображается выпадающее меню. Исправте пожалуйста
2023-05-26	Joshua Harris	Beautifully simple and effective. As a professional developer, that is my highest praise. Thank you!
2023-05-04	Alex Filippov	Отлично и стабильно работает когда разберешься с настройками. Works very good and stable after you correctly configure it.
2023-02-27	Suraj Velip	It's fantastic.
2023-01-12	Aymon Collins	This extension genuinely took 30 seconds to set up and test. I installed several others which didn't work and this one worked instantly. Thank you so much!! Definitely the simplest solution to the problem of having to click refresh every time a code change is made.
2021-08-27	Brian D	Worked as advertised. Thanks!
2021-08-20	Jared Rutledge	Does what it says for local development environments
2021-03-20	Noname Noname	Great extension! I have to modify some sites, so I need to have my own css on the page, which I would edit in my IDE. This issue can be partially solved through the extension with userCSS-injection with a built-in editor, but it is a pain to go this way when working with mobile layout. Now I can add a <link> of my localhosted css to the page with one extension, monitor it with this extension, and edit the css file in a regular IDE. The only thing is that I would really like to be able to inject my css into the page in the same extension, so as not to use two different ones.
2021-03-09	i n	It works perfectly. Thanks.
2020-07-07	Ben Renschen	Works like a charm! So simple to set up. Hard to believe it took installing/uninstalling several extensions to get to this PERFECTLY working extension. This is particularly useful for WordPress developers! My 2-minute setup as a WordPress developer: 1. Run Local (by Flywheel) for a live server. 2. Installed this extension (Live Reload). 3. Click on your extension icon --> click "Create a new reload rule" 4. Add Title of rule (can be your website name) 5. Host URL: https://mywebsite.dev/ (don't forget the forward slash at the end) 6. Source file URL's: https://mywebsite.dev/* -- Note: you cannot technically monitor changes in local folders/files (on your comp). Instead, you refer to the root folder by using your source URL followed by a forward slash (/) and asterisk (*) to monitor ALL files 7. Ignore source file URL's: https://mywebsite.dev/wp-admin https://mywebsite.dev/wp-admin/customize.php -- Note: This allows your website to use Live Reload without reloading admin areas. There may be other admin areas to ignore, but this setup works for me. 8. Decide how many seconds the extension should wait before checking for updated source files. I set mine to 1s so the updates are immediate. 9. Choose to enable/disable two reload options based on preference. 10. Click "Save reload rule". Voila! Thank you Blaise for a killer (and working) extension!
