Auto Refresh Page Chrome extension

Auto Refresh Page reloads a tab on a schedule you set, which is useful for watching pages that update, like tickets, stock, or job listings. It's best for people who need a set-and-forget page monitor. The catch: it doesn't notify you of what changed, it just reloads the page.

What Auto Refresh Page does

Auto Refresh Page reloads a browser tab automatically at a time interval you set, so you don't have to keep hitting reload yourself. It's aimed at pages that change over time, such as availability pages, dashboards, or listings, where you want the latest version without manually checking back.

Auto Refresh Page free vs paid

The extension is free to install and set up, with per-tab interval controls available at no cost. It's a focused utility rather than a subscription product, so there's no separate paid tier bundled with the core refresh feature.

Is Auto Refresh Page safe?

To reload and monitor tabs, the extension needs permission to interact with the pages you set it to refresh. This is standard for a page-monitoring tool. Keep in mind that repeated auto-refreshing on sites with login sessions can sometimes log you out or trigger rate limits.
