This is my first small project. I will be updating this a few times to polish it up. It's as basic as they come. Click a tab, click the tab-refresh icon(turns red to green), indicating the refresh is working on the current tab, click it again to turn it off.

You can navigate to other tabs while tab refresh is active elsewhere.

In the near future, I'll have a drop down menu with pre-set intervals.

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.

Tab Refresh requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
