Subject: What’s the best page reloader tool out there?

Hey folks,

I’ve been trying to find a solid page reloader to auto-refresh some pages for tracking updates. Tried a couple Chrome extensions, but they either crash or don’t let me set custom intervals.

Anyone got a good rec? Free is ideal, but I’m cool with paid if it’s *actually* reliable.

Also, does it work in the background if I minimize the browser? Some of these page reloaders stop when you tab away, which is kinda useless lol.

Thanks in advance!

Yo,

Need a page reloader that won’t crap out after 10 mins. Something simple, no bloat.

Tried "Super Auto Refresh" but it’s glitchy af. Ideally, I’d like one with random intervals to avoid looking like a bot.

Any favorites? Bonus if it works on Firefox too.

Cheers!
I've been using "Easy Auto Refresh" for Chrome, and it's been solid for me. Lets you set custom intervals, and it keeps running even if you minimize the browser.

Only downside is it doesn’t have random intervals, but for basic page reloader needs, it’s been reliable. Plus, it’s free!
Yo, check out "Tab Reloader" for Firefox. Works like a charm and lets you randomize the refresh rate.

I use it for monitoring auction sites, and it doesn’t glitch out. Also, it’s lightweight—no bloat.
If you’re okay with paid, "Auto Refresh Plus" is worth it. Works on Chrome and Firefox, lets you set custom intervals, and runs in the background.

Used it for months with no crashes. The random interval feature is a nice touch to avoid detection.
Honestly, most page reloader extensions suck. I switched to a standalone app called "Refresh Monkey" and never looked back.

Works outside the browser, so it doesn’t care if you minimize or switch tabs. Free version has limits, but the paid one’s cheap.
Try "Super Refresh" for Chrome. Simple, no frills, and lets you set intervals down to the second.

It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done. And yeah, it keeps running in the background.
Hey everyone, thanks for all the recs! Gonna try "Easy Auto Refresh" and "Tab Reloader" first since they’re free.

Quick Q: Anyone know if these work on mobile browsers? Or is it strictly desktop?

For random intervals, "Page Refresh Tool" is my go-to. Works on both Chrome and Firefox, and you can tweak the min/max refresh times.

Only gripe is it sometimes eats RAM, but it’s reliable otherwise.
Pro tip: If you’re tech-savvy, just use a browser console script. No extension needed.

Something like:
```javascript
setInterval(function(){ location.reload(); }, 30000);
```
Change the 30000 to whatever ms you want. Works in the background too.
"Auto Refresh" by Checker Plus is solid. Free, customizable, and doesn’t crash.

Used it for years to track stock updates. Works minimized and even has notifications if the page changes.
