Easy Auto Refresh Chrome extension

Easy Auto Refresh lets you set a page to reload automatically after a chosen number of seconds, with different intervals per tab and your scroll position remembered between reloads. It's best for monitoring pages that update on their own, like tickets or listings. The catch: extra options like random intervals and scheduled times need registration.

What Easy Auto Refresh does

Easy Auto Refresh reloads a webpage automatically after a number of seconds you set, so you don't have to manually refresh a page that updates over time. You can set different delays for different tabs, and the extension remembers your scroll position so the page doesn't jump back to the top after each reload.

Easy Auto Refresh free vs registered

The free version covers the core feature: setting a refresh interval per tab and having it remembered per page. Registering unlocks extra options, including random countdown intervals, refreshing at specific times of day, reloading all tabs in a window at once, and automatically clicking a button or link on the page.

Is Easy Auto Refresh safe?

The extension needs to interact with the tabs you choose to refresh in order to reload them on your schedule. It only acts on pages where you've set an interval and clicked Start, and settings are saved per URL rather than applied globally.
