Built for steady boards

Features

Timed tab reloads

Set an interval in seconds or tap presets, then Start. Each tab can run its own loop while you work elsewhere.

Visible countdown

Read a large HH:MM:SS timer in the popup. Optionally show a short countdown on the toolbar badge or an on-page chip.

Daily refresh windows

Limit reloads to HH:MM–HH:MM. Outside the window the session pauses instead of failing silently.

Multi-tab sessions

Run independent timers on several tabs with different intervals from one popup list.

Hard refresh when needed

Bypass cache when a normal reload stays stale. Cookies stay; switch back to normal reload if a site forces login.

Local by default

Settings and session snapshots stay in chrome.storage.local. Core reload uses Chrome tabs and alarms—no vendor login for the basic loop.

Simple by design

  2. Open a normal tab

Answers before you install

FAQ

What does Auto Refresh Turbo do?

It reloads Chrome tabs on a timer you configure—interval, optional daily window, optional random delay, and safety switches such as stop on interaction and hard refresh.

Does refresh continue when the popup is closed?

Yes. Timing uses Chrome alarms in the background service worker, so the schedule keeps running after you close the popup.

Does core refresh work offline?

Yes for the timer itself. You only need the network for the sites you reload. The extension does not call Auto Refresh Turbo servers to fire a basic reload.

Why did it pause by itself?

If a daily schedule is on and the clock is outside the window, the session pauses. Your settings remain. That is different from Stop, which ends the session until you Start again.

Will typing stop the timer?

If stop on click/type is enabled (default on), interaction can stop the session so a reload does not interrupt editing. Turn it off if you want reloads while you work in the tab.

Can I run several tabs?

Yes. Each tab can have its own session. Add the current tab from the popup list; intervals can differ.

Do you sell browsing data?

No. Settings stay local. We do not sell your data to advertisers or brokers. See the Privacy Policy for optional coarse telemetry.

Can I use it on Chrome settings pages?

No. Stick to ordinary website tabs (typically https).
