Review Summary
Tab Reloader is praised for its simplicity, customizability, and usefulness in keeping sessions alive and updating page content automatically. However, multiple users report inconsistent behavior in Chrome/Brave browsers where the extension fails to reload tabs reliably or stops after a single reload. Some advanced features have issues, such as respecting tab activity or very short intervals. Despite some bugs and glitches, especially after updates, many users find it superior to alternatives and helpful for monitoring changing web content.
Pros
- Simple and effective functionality for auto-reloading tabs as needed.
- Customizable settings including refresh intervals and conditional actions based on tab activity or content changes.
- Helps maintain login sessions on websites that log out automatically due to inactivity.
- User-friendly and practical for monitoring dynamic content such as job postings or messaging platforms.
- Free with useful features like random variation in reload times.
Cons
- Inconsistent performance in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers like Brave, sometimes failing to reload or reloading irregularly.
- Reload only happens once or sporadically stops working after a period of use.
- Certain features such as 'Do not reload if tab is active' or short interval reloads (less than 30 seconds) may not function properly.
- Cache is not always preserved on reload, causing data loss in some cases.
- Recent updates may have introduced bugs affecting reliability.
