CSS Easy Reload
Description from store

Easily reload the CSS on a page with a simple click or keyboard shortcut (CTRL+Q by default).

Reloads the CSS on the page for each link tag by appending a unique suffix to the href url.

Aims to reduce browser flash by only removing old styles once the new styles have fully loaded.

Supports auto refresh after a set time (default shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+Q).

Shows the number of stylesheets refreshed each reload on the badge icon as "5🔃".

Very simple extension, no privacy concerns! Open source so you can check the code.

Latest manifest V3 supported Chrome extension.

# Update 2025/08/22

Added some code to stop the rating popup from showing more often than it should.

(it is only meant to show up on the 5th usage!)

# Update 2025/02/05

Added Blacklist support and logging in tab's console.log

Blacklists allow filtering by href url, so things like fonts and cdn files don't get reloaded.

Included are sensible defaults.

Works great but has an annoying popup

I used to use a rather clunky CSS reload that eventually got kicked out of the extensions store. I randomly grabbed this one and it's refreshing how well it works, and how nice the little Icon is. Thanks!
