User reviews
RemoteLiveReload is praised for its reliable functionality and simplicity, especially compared to other LiveReload extensions that users found non-functional. Its ability to target specific sites enhances security, making it popular among web developers who work with frameworks like Angular and Node. However, some users experience issues with the extension not working, and there is a desire for more customizable options such as setting a custom port to manage multiple LiveReload instances.

Dawid Prajzner, 2022-10-10So 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.
