What Tab Reloader does
Tab Reloader adds a toolbar panel where you set a reload timer for any open tab. Each tab keeps its own schedule, so you can refresh a price-tracking page every 30 seconds while leaving other tabs untouched. It can add random variation to the timing, reload only while a tab is inactive, and restart your jobs automatically after you close and reopen the browser.
Tab Reloader free vs paid
Tab Reloader is free with every listed feature, including per-tab timers, URL-based rules, custom JavaScript on reload, and the session manager. There's no separate paid tier described in the listing.
Is Tab Reloader safe?
The extension needs to read and change the pages you tell it to reload, plus manage tabs, to do its job. It runs entirely in your browser rather than sending page data anywhere. If you add custom JavaScript rules, only add code you trust, since it runs on the pages you target.
