User reviews

Users praise 'Tab auto reloader' for its simplicity, privacy-friendly design requiring no extra permissions, and reliability over several years. The open-source nature and clean interface are also positively noted. However, some criticize that timing is based on tab IDs rather than URLs, leading to inconsistent behavior when navigating tabs. Others wish for updates to maintain compatibility with newer Chrome versions and suggest minor UI improvements like changing the timer icon's color for better visibility.

Pros

Simple and effective functionality that does exactly what it promises.
Does not require excessive permissions or read site data, ensuring user privacy.
Easy to use with a straightforward, uncomplicated user interface.
Reliable performance that has been maintained over several years without issues.
Open source nature of the extension appreciated by users.

Cons

The extension uses 'Tab ID' for the timer rather than URL, causing issues when navigating within the same tab or revisiting URLs.
Lack of updates to keep up with new versions of Google Chrome has caused functionality issues for some users.
The green background color of the timer icon can be hard to see; some users would prefer a lighter color.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tab auto reloader does not require any sensitive permissions.
