Questions about auto refresh

Is auto refresh free?

Yes. The auto refresh timer is completely free with no limits and no account required. Only AI page monitors are paid.

Does the tab need to stay open?

Yes. Auto refresh runs inside your browser, so the tab needs to remain open. If you want monitoring without keeping a tab open, use a page monitor instead.

Can I refresh multiple tabs at once?

Yes. Each tab has its own independent timer. Set different intervals on different tabs and they all run at the same time.

Does it work in Edge and Brave?

Yes. It works in Chrome and any Chromium browser that installs extensions from the Chrome Web Store, including Edge and Brave.

Will it bypass cached pages?

Yes. Turn on the Hard refresh toggle and the extension skips the browser cache on every reload, so you always see the latest version of the page.

Can the timer start automatically when I open a page?

Yes. Switch on auto-start for a page and the timer begins as soon as you visit that URL, without clicking anything.
