========================
NEW TO VERSION 2.1.0!
========================
- Due to popular demand Refreshy now gives you a refresh timer on the extension. I want to say thank you to everyone who requested this.
<ul><li>Refreshy now has a timer you can see in the lower right corner of any tab you are refreshing! Even if the extension is closed, you will know exactly how long you have until the next refresh. Thank you James for the suggestion! ^_^</li><li>Manifest V3 support. It's finally here. Refreshy had a long refresh timer, but it was time for a hard refresh! Refreshy now is completely updated. I rewrote so much of the code to bring this into modern times. Let's keep Refeshy alive for years to come!</li><li>REFRESHY COMES TO FIREFOX!!! I am so proud to be able to deliver Refreshy to Firefox. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did working on it! ^_^</li></ul>
