User reviews
It works but it really needs a shortcut to stop the timer. I need to refresh very often and then use the page once what I'm waiting for appears. having to click on the icon and then on the "stop" button may mean that what I'm trying to do may fail, because I need to be QUICK. (no, it's not for scalping, lol)
