J CSS Reload

Simple CSS Reload utility

What is J CSS Reload?

J CSS Reload is a high-performance Chrome extension which is designed to simplify the process of refreshing CSS files. It allows for CSS updates without the need for full page reloads, saving time for developers and designers. It includes an easily accessible refresh button as well as shortcut options, with new features such as icon blinking on activation and support for experimental '@import url(...' being added regularly. Note that several public CDN hosts are ignored during refresh to optimize performance.

Used to be great - I'm a developer and this was one of my most-used plugins. An update happened, and now it does nothing except load the plugin page. Uninstalling and looking for something that "just works". Sadness :-(

Works great in Chrome 84 (aug 2020). I set ALT + R for it (read the instructions on where to find it). This plugin saves a ton when you elaborate in Console's Elements Tab with classes etc. It's sooo nice to have such a convenient CSS-only-reload. My only regret (besides having boneitis) is that I didn't look for this earlier.

Risk impact

J CSS Reload is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install J CSS Reload if you trust the publisher.
