RefreshPilot — Smart Page Refresh

About

RefreshPilot is a clean, modern auto-refresh extension built for power users who need precise control without bloat.

✦ Custom intervals — set any duration in seconds or minutes, or pick a quick preset (30s, 1m, 5m, 10m).
✦ Random timing — refresh between a min and max range to vary the cadence naturally.
✦ Smart change detection — RefreshPilot computes a lightweight content hash and can notify you (or auto-stop) the moment a page actually changes.
✦ Per-site settings — your preferences are remembered for each domain.
✦ Multi-tab manager — see every tab currently auto-refreshing and stop them individually or all at once.
✦ Refresh only when active — pause when the tab is in the background to save resources.
✦ Auto-start on open — opt in per site.
✦ Live countdown in the popup and on the toolbar badge.
✦ Dark & light themes, refined modern UI.
