非常棒的自动刷新扩展,经常会因为超时而退出一些网页,用这个插件完全解决了这个问题,真的是既简洁又方便,没有任何多余的功能,界面干净利索,图标还显示倒计时,大赞!!!

I don't usually add to the review list, but I use this simple extension to keep a logged-in account alive and avoid annoying automatic logouts--and today 2-factor authentification was added. VERY valuable timesaver. I would like to see longer intervals, perhaps 30 min and 1 hour--but in the bigger scheme of things 10 minutes works just fine. Thank you, 'idof'.
