About

Tired of getting logged out while working? Long Live the Session automatically keeps your web sessions alive by sending periodic background requests, preventing annoying timeouts and data loss.

🚀 Why You Need This: Many secure websites (banking, corporate portals, cloud consoles, Jira, etc.) log you out after a short period of inactivity. This extension runs silently in the background to simulate activity, keeping you logged in as long as you need.

✨ Key Features:

* Prevent Timeouts: Automatically sends keep-alive PING requests to maintain active sessions.
* No Refresh Needed: Works in the background without refreshing your page or interrupting your work.
* Smart Detection: Automatically detects domains and suggests configuration.
* Custom Intervals: Set PING pings from every 1 minute to 1 hour.
* Auto-Enable: Option to automatically start keeping sessions alive when you visit specific sites.
* Dual Mode UI: Simple "Compact Mode" for quick use and advanced "Developer Mode" for power users. More features were added but to reduce complexity, i had to stash some.
* Privacy Focused: runs locally, no data collection, no tracking.

🛠 How to use this?

1. Navigate to any website where you want to stay logged in.
2. Open the extension and toggle it ON.
3. (Optional) Configure advanced settings like request method (HEAD/GET/POST) or custom intervals.
4. The extension sends lightweight network requests in the background to convince the server you are still active.

🔒 Privacy & Security:

* 100% Local: All settings are stored on your device.
* No Data Collection: We do not track your browsing history or collect personal data.
* Safe: Uses standard web requests to maintain sessions, respecting site security policies.

🎯 Perfect For:

* Developers: Keep cloud consoles (AWS, Azure, GCP) and local servers active.
* Professionals: Stay logged in to corporate portals, Jira, Confluence, and HR systems.
* Students: Keep research portals and library sessions from timing out.
* Everyone: Stop losing form data and unsaved work due to sudden logouts.

Version 2.0.0 Update:
* New modern UI with Dark Mode support.
* Improved domain management with "Auto-enable" on arrival.
* Optimization: 93% smaller size for faster performance.
* Fixed bugs with domain toggling and display.
* Throttled storage writes (max once per 5 minutes per domain)
* Prevents Chrome storage quota limits
* Reduced disk I/O operations
* Optimized background script execution

Note: This extension is a productivity tool. Please use responsibly and in accordance with the terms of service of the websites you visit.
