[DISCONTINUED]
Update 26.08.2019:
Twitter is updating, or in some areas has already updated their site in a way that breaks this extension by removing or renaming the javascript calls that i use to trigger twitter to load new tweets. Additionally they check to see that any keyboard events originate from an actual key press as opposed to being generated programmatically, thus completely disabling the avenue used to make this extension.
The main page still does not automatically load tweets, however you can still get this functionality by using twitters own tweetdeck at tweetdeck.twitter.com

Thanks for all the feedback and to all the thousands of users. Hopefully this extension has served you well.

Description:
Ever find yourself keeping a browser tab of twitter open on your secondary screen, wishing that it would just get those new tweets and show them without requiring you to click to see them?
Well that (1st world) problem is now in the past. By installing this extension, your twitter feed will never again fall behind the time. As long as your window is scrolled to the top and your not in the middle of writing a tweet yourself, regardless if your on the front page, watching a search result, or a specific person, new tweets will automatically be loaded on to your feed.

Changelog:

- Fixed: Loading at the actual top of timeline, regardless of all the clutter twitter decides to put on top
- TODO: Figure out a more obvious way to pause updating then focusing a text area incase the user wants to do something above the timeline

1.0.1.1
- Fixed: Made internal timer to reset immediately instead of after next update when new tweets are found
- Prevent too many simultaneous requests

Good, but it keeps resetting to the top when reading threads and sometimes it scrolls a bit to the top when you're farther down in the feed.

잘 됩니다. 자동으로 트윗이 업데이트 됩니다. 다만 시피유 점유율이 많이 올라갑니다. 노트북 팬소음 발생. 그래서 필요할 때만 작동시키면서 사용 중.
