- I installed it today , it worked like magic. Thanks, man, you made things easier.
- Dale Walker
- I found this app very useful but it currently results in an error where posts below the scroll open and steal focus. Disabling the app repairs the issue. Please fix this.

- Could be good if it didn't start auto scrolling after 30 seconds
- Tom Barrister
- Facebook went right on merrily auto-refreshing.
- Michael Kerney
- I'm afraid Facebook has made it not work anymore and it needs an update now.

- I just downloaded the extension a couple days ago, it worked great for a couple days but now out of the blue it's back to Facebook refreshing. I'll give it a little more time and see what happens.

- A lifesaver for doomscrollers and ADHD-addled dummies like me. Worked great, until a few days ago unfortunately. Needs an update. Will change to 5 stars if updated.

- No longer works sadly

- I was a sceptic as well. Thank you for creating this extension. I was reading a post, didn't finish it because my hubs asked me to look up something, went back and it fricken refreshed and I couldn't find the post to finish reading it...and this happened way too many times!

- This FB feature is so annoying. Thankyou for doing this. Appreciate you

- That was quite skeptical that this would work well, but I was so fed up with Facebook auto refreshing in Chrome. I thought I'd give it a try. I'm using it in my chromebook and it works perfectly! Now I can leave the tab and come back to just where I left off. Thank you so much

- It's not working for me either. Yes, I reinstalled it, restarted the browser. I'm using the web version of FB on a laptop. If it helps, when I show extensions information, it shows this one as "No access needed, this extension doesn't need to see and change information on this site." When I am on the FB website. So maybe it can't get access for some reason.

- It doesn't work now in 2025. The FaceBook pages still go on as normal refresh now....
