Description from store
Almost all websites with authentication has a session timeout. If you are inactive in the website for some time then your session may be expired. You need to login again to perform any action in the website.
This extension will keep your session from expiring by reloading your website in the background. This will keep your session alive without manually reloading website even you are inactive in the website for long period of time.
Background page request
This option keep the session alive by requesting page in the background using AJAX requests, and page reload is not required and unsaved changes are not lost.
Set the Background trigger URL as your website dashboard/ welcome URL, set the Interval and save. Navigate to the Trigger URL in a New Tab and Your session is now alive!
Automatic stopping of Background page request
The rule is automatically stopped by analyzing the server response.
Foreground page reload
The Background page reload will not be enough to keep the session alive, if websites implements JavaScript idle timer in the browser itself. The Foreground page reload option can overcome this limitation.
This option keep the session alive by auto-reloading current page in the browser.
Automatic stopping of Foreground page reload
The rule is automatically stopped if the user navigates away from the Trigger URL.
Notifications
Browser Notifications can be set for the page reload success/ fail conditions.

- (2023-04-14) Suri Kužomast: I can't believe I didn't think of searching for an extension like this earlier. I'm tied to some websites where if you're not active for 5-10 minutes, it logs you out. I used to log back in to the websites twenty times a day. With this extension, I only have to log in once and I stay logged in for the whole day
- (2022-10-05) EPC IT: Super simple and just keeps my various web portals alive in the background so I don't have to re-log in a million times a day when I look away for 2 minutes! Worked great and very easy to understand.
- (2022-09-30) THANK THE MAKER! Finally a Chromium replacement for Staying Alive! I was crushed when Staying Alive was no longer in the store. This is a sanity saver for those using sites all day for work that keep timing out at just the wrong time and keep logging back in 10-100 times a day. Very familiar settings for anyone that used Staying Alive before.

We need to install a plugin for chrome offline for some reason. - We successfully install it under the add-on>developer mode, BUT the Error occur, showed up in the page then. - Below is the Error Message. Uncaught ReferenceError: browser is not defined 【Error Message】: 上下文： `_generated_background_page.html` 堆叠追踪： > background.js 510 (匿名函数)： ``` 509| */ 510| browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener(handleMessage); 511| /* ``` Do we have ways to solve this? - Also I've tried to use it, ignore the Error message. It seems unable to do the setting things in the Option(or, Setting)Page: it stay a blank page, except the sidebar on the left, on which the "+Add New Rule" button doesn't give a response. - (2023-04-20, v:2.2) Yossi David: How to activate?
Thanks for creating and sharing this useful extension. I have set up two rules in Session Alive (Chrome). In order to activate them I find that I have to open the rule, click "Save Rule" and then click "Trigger URL" to start the rule. 1. Shouldn't the rule be triggered whenever I open the associated website, instead of me having to do it manually, as described above? 2. Is there a way to set rules to trigger automatically, and open their associated websites, whenever the browser is launched? Thanks - (2022-08-24, v:2.2) Ganesh Singh: Not working in Chrome
Hi Arun, Thank you for this chrome extension. I am using this for Firefox but was looking for Chrome version as well. Unfortunately, the background url is not triggered in chrome and the session expires. Same setting is working fine in Firefox. Any idea what could be the reason?
