Everything works great, notification sound is super useful!

It didn't work for me. It succeeds in refreshing tabs at the specified intervals but it never gives any notifications - even when I test it with text that I know is in a page.
Shame because it's a nice idea and could have been useful.

Is Smart Auto-Refresh & Notify 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.
