Auto Refresh Plus Chrome extension

Auto Refresh Plus reloads a tab automatically on a timer you set, so you don't have to keep manually refreshing a page. It's best for people who watch a page for changes, like stock updates or a queue status. The catch: it's a single-purpose tool with no extra features beyond timed reloading.
