Review Summary
Users find the Smart Auto Refresh extension easy to use, reliable, and helpful in preventing session timeouts by auto-refreshing pages even across tabs. The controls are straightforward, and the extension is generally seen as high quality. However, some users report occasional failures where the refresh stops unexpectedly, and the extension lacks remembering previous settings. A common request is for a feature to refresh only during inactivity to avoid disrupting active work. There are also minor functionality limitations on certain refresh intervals and sites.
Pros

- Easy to navigate and use with simple controls.
- Helps prevent session timeouts and re-authentication on websites.

Cons
- Page refresh sometimes stops unexpectedly or does not always work consistently.
- Lacks memory function to remember previous refresh intervals/settings.
- No option to refresh only when there is no user activity, causing disruptions if refreshing during active tasks.
