Just what I needed

Ba*****, 2016-10-02

Hey! Awesome extension. We have this URL at my work where, if you submit a GET request to the URL, it wipes a cache and forces a server to render our changes. (A bit odd, I know, but hey!). This extension makes it easy to tap a key combo and wipe the cache! Awesome. Just a note though - my Mac seems to have a binding already set for Alt+R - it posts the RESERVE symbol: ®. I tried ALT+SHIFT+R but that posts a symbol as well. Just thought it worth mentioning. Love the extension though. And hey, if you use Facebook's Messenger.com to chat with your friends, check out my extension as well ;)

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.

rfrshr requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

rfrshr may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
