CRX Reload - Automatic Chrome Extension Reloading

CRX Reload is a Chrome extension that automates the reloading process for your extension during development. It uses an HTTP request to trigger reloads whenever you make updates to your code. Simply install the 'socket.io' npm package, create a server, and emit reload events to trigger the extension reload. The extension allows you to configure the port and toggle it off when not needed. Please note that manifest.json changes are not reflected with these reloads.
Install from Chrome Web Store
