An easy-to-use tab reloader with custom reloading time for individual tabs and more!
The "Tab Reloader" extension provides a toolbar panel to perform infinite reloading jobs on individual tabs.
You can define a custom period with a random variation for each tab. Tab reloading jobs can be disabled or enabled through the toolbar panel.
Features:
1. Define variable (random) reloading times with a predefined range
2. Define whether reloading occurs when a tab is active or not
3. Restores reloading jobs after a restart (session manager)
4. Reload tabs from the context menu over tab element (see screenshot)
5. Optionally displays the remaining time of the next reloading on the badge area
6. See the list of all tabs with active reloading jobs in the browser action's popup
7. Set custom rules to start reloading a tab when URL or hostname matches.
8. Optionally move to the bottom of a tab after reloading occurs to read the new content
9. Reload all tabs in the current window or all browser windows
10. Reload local files (file://)
11. Optionally bypass form submissions
12. Define a policy that prevents reloading based on the time (date) and URL
13. Run custom JavaScript code on each reload.
14. Reload only a few times and then stop.
15. Reload discarded tabs in the current window or all windows
16. Supports setting reloading jobs of all selected tabs at once
To disable an already activated tab, please make sure to switch to the tab first, then open the toolbar button and disable the job. Note that if you are closing the tab, there is no need to disable the job. The job will be disabled automatically after an active tab gets closed.
As of version 0.2.7, you can now ask the extension to automatically set new reloading jobs for you based on the "Custom JSON" object. If the option is checked and the new page has a matching hostname, the extension will load the custom reloading job from the JSON and applies to the tab. Check the options and FAQs pages for more info.
As of version 0.2.9, 1 you can define a policy that prevents reloading based on the time (date) and URL. Both time and URL keys accept regular expressions to prevent reloading. With the policies you can, for instance, prevent reloading on a specific page of a domain or prevent reloading at specific hours of a day.

- (2024-07-11) Firman: From Edge to Firefox, this is the best tab reloader add on! It is simple and work perfectly, Recommended!
- (2024-02-13) Islam: i tried many page reloader tools, and this is the only one i find it useful and reliable. it works on Firefox too
- (2023-04-04) Jan: Works perfectly, very reliable and LOTS of configuration options. Other extensions failed to work together with the "tab suspend" feature of Edge, this one works flawlessly and keeps the tab from sleeping.
- (2022-08-23) Micha: After a reboot, all set reloads are deactivated and have to be activated again. What a useless app.
- (2022-07-19) Derek: I used to love this extension but the latest version is unreliable. It eventually fails when reloading for multiple tabs. The extension will cycle through the timer, but does not actually refresh and my pages time out. I was hoping it was browser specific but it happens on chrome, firefox and edge.
- (2021-05-07) James: Seems to be a bug in extension for Microsoft edge. Monitor will not sleep if this extension is enabled in Edge, even with Edge tabbed down. The problem does not exist in Chrome.
- (2021-03-02) Dietz,: I particularly like the "Do not reload if tab is active" option. I have not seen that in any other auto-reloader. The only thing I would wish for is that it would remain active across browser sessions, so I don't have to turn it on every time I open the browser (I'm using this on a pinned tab).
- (2020-08-21) Christopher: Have been using on Firefox for several months. Excellent ability to assign actions based on individual websites/tabs - without having to know scripting. If you know scripting it has many more abilities.
- (2020-06-11) Vadim: The best of its kind imho
- (2020-06-06) Paul: One of the few Tab Refresh Apps that does NOT request permission to change and read the data on the websites you visit! Does exactly the job it needs to do and does it well.
