Features & Capabilities

Reload on Idle is a Chrome extension designed to help manage browser memory usage effectively. Certain web pages can gradually increase memory consumption, leading to slower performance. Instead of disrupting your workflow by reloading tabs while you're actively browsing, Reload on Idle waits until your PC is idle—such as when you're away from your desk—to automatically reload specified tabs. You can set a custom timer, like 30 minutes, ensuring tabs refresh only during your inactivity, freeing up memory without interruptions. This solution is perfect for users looking to maintain browser performance without losing their place or experiencing unexpected reloads during active use.

Is Reload on Idle Safe?

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.

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