Live Reload is a powerful Chrome extension designed to improve productivity by automatically monitoring source files such as scripts, stylesheets, and frames. Whenever a source file changes, the extension reloads the entire page or only the specific updated stylesheet, providing seamless live updating during web development. Users can configure monitoring rules to customize which files trigger reloads, streamlining the debugging and development process.

This extension also offers debugging support through the Edge extension console, allowing developers to troubleshoot why a page may not reload as expected. Note that files served via the local file system cannot be monitored due to browser security restrictions, but serving files over HTTP solves this limitation. Live Reload is ideal for developers who want quick feedback loops without manual refreshes, enhancing efficiency and reducing development time.

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.

Live Reload requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. 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 an Edge add-on.

Live Reload is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
