🔍 PAGE CHANGE MONITORING

• Get desktop notifications when changes are detected
• View change history log with timestamps

Michael Campbell 2019-04-26: The refresh portion works fine, although the "random" from/to should be in the same units; one is in seconds, one minutes. Also, the "monitor" functionality does nothing.
Gábor Klement 2019-02-20: Finally one with tab focus :) Love you. However an option would be awesome for not to refresh/delay/restart if someone is typing in a form or clicking.
Haya Busa 2018-12-01: Stops working after browser reload
Irina Svetlowa 2016-11-21: Hi, I am interested in acquiring your extension "Refresh Monkey". Please contact me at: [email protected]
Mohsen Ghamari 2016-11-16: Doesn't work!!!!
Antonia Rosas De León 2016-10-30: please add a sound notification
Deivo Ryman 2016-10-26: The countdown disappears!
Kyle Smaagard 2016-10-25: Doesn't save scroll position.
Karolis Noreika 2016-10-20: I found that there is a hidden search feature which can not be disabled. Huge Dislike.
Hisham Al-Beik 2016-10-12: Extension adds an extension managed search engine to browser that cannot be independently disabled from the extension. Basically if you ever type "t*space*" in the address bar, it will automatically replace it with searching tejji.com Will disable extension and look for alternative.
ONCE Jordan 2016-10-12: Good
Tony Tung (Aeru) 2016-10-06: It's great, lots of features to customize with. Stays in place when refreshes. Can notify change (never used feature). Unlike Super Auto Refresh, loses timer upon browser restart. Unlike ChromeReloadPlus, does not have randomization timer.
Sandra Alcon 2016-09-28: genial
Mark Good 2016-08-02: I'd like the timer to reset whenever I manually load a page.
Joao Cesar Escossia 2016-08-01: Super!
John Shen 2016-07-28: wonderful tool to prevent overzealous session timeout getting in the way and destroying your work!
Joker 2016-07-17: - "Enable refresh ONLY when the tab has focus" does not work Refresh when the tab has focus - must be Default Do not refresh unaltered objects (images, flash), the cache skip Remove random refresh. Make the 4 customizable buttons refresh: Default, N sec., X min., Y hours Add automatic refresh on a mask url - for example: http [s]: //gmail.com/1/* Save slider position in frames
Tomas Dalin 2016-07-09: needed a reload that repositions the page to original location after refresh. this does that. thanks
abg tiney 2016-06-23: :).....good
Anonymous 2016-06-18: lovin it i farm tickets on a site its awesome
Kamil Saad 2016-06-13: It works how it is supposed too, but I don't like that I can't save settings and I absolutely hate how when ever I type t then space it fricken takes me to tejji.com. I will change my review if that one is fixed.
William Blake 2016-06-09: works as discribed
Scott Beeson 2016-06-08: This is bad and the developers should feel bad.
Kristen B 2016-06-06: Needs a 'panic button' keyboard shortcut to stop refreshing
Vishal Verma 2016-05-31: Awesome.
Seth Mueller 2016-05-13: Trying to get an item as soon as it launched and this got the job of refreshing to check the updated stock number done perfectly.
rakhi hans 2016-05-04: It include absolutely every thing; I like it. Good job....
Brenda Jameson 2016-05-02: helpfull
Derek Holmes 2016-04-15: Works great! The app allows me to refresh at a random interval which helps a lot!
Adam Gaulrapp 2016-04-13: works how it is supposed to for the most of it
Anonymous 2016-04-09: I really like it. Though yeah an alert would be nice. I also wish this was available for Firefox. Dunno if that's possible but it'd make my day!
Anonymous 2016-03-24: Not notifying of page changes.
chad tunis 2016-03-24: great extension - and kudos to the developer!
Sergey Yaroshevskiy 2016-03-15: Excellent
Shoaib Ansari 2016-02-29: Refresh monkey is great. Deserve 5 star.Plzz add notification sound on url change. Plzz consider this one... We have to look at the screen everytime to check for changes.. Notification sound on Url change will be a great feature...
Yohanes Kristanto 2016-02-29: awesome
Jones 2016-02-26: does not auto submit form pages.
Anas El 2016-02-19: Awesome plugin ! Could you just make it possible to save the default refresh time ? Thanks :)
Bardh Gashi 2016-02-19: i just love it :D
Mick Sherry 2016-02-18: I needed an extension that could refresh the page at a timed interval and could also remember the page scroll position and this Refresh Monkey plugin worked perfectly. Unlike many other auto refreshers, this one has not yet shown me any evidence that it contains spyware which is a relief. This is one very satisfied developer
Masoud Moshref Javadi 2016-02-17: I wish it could send a message/notification once it finds a change
Dante 2016-02-15: ok
Australian Guy 2016-02-15: This extension is great
g v 2016-02-04: works, poor UI (forgivable) but on ubuntu chromium it causes some kind of memory bug or other error because it crashes the computer over time
Pavel Urva 2016-02-01: Super!
Mischa Brammer 2016-01-29: Reload works, but I didn't get any notification when the page content changes. Either with or without selector.
Steele Sheen 2016-01-25: works fantastic and reliably. wish list for developer: please add an option where we can also specify the refresh url the tab will refresh to (instead of the current dependency of refreshing to whatever the current url is on the address bar). thanks!
AJ Abrahamsen 2016-01-22: Does exactly what I needed it to. It refreshes my trouble ticket list page every minute.
Richard Edwards 2016-01-19: Just installed it, and it seems to be doing just fine. (Why did they put "monkey" in the name?)
P H 2016-01-12: Not the greatest UI but offers random intervals which is just what I needed.
