RemoteLiveReload - The LiveReload Chrome Extension

RemoteLiveReload is a chrome extension that provides an automated system for live reloading web pages. When the source files of a page are modified, the extension triggers an automatic refresh. It connects to a local or remote live-reload server, e.g., the widely-used LiveReload for Windows or Mac and guard-livereload for Linux, depending on the domain of the current webpage.

LiveReload extension is not working on my machine, this one works so... yeah nice 🤷

So far, very good. Allows you to turn the plugin on only for specific sites, e.g. localhost, which is reassuring, given that it has access to all browser data.
