About

Easily reload the CSS on a page with a simple click or keyboard shortcut (CTRL+Q by default).

Reloads the CSS on the page for each link tag by appending a unique suffix to the href url.

Aims to reduce browser flash by only removing old styles once the new styles have fully loaded.

Supports auto refresh after a set time (default shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+Q).

Shows the number of stylesheets refreshed each reload on the badge icon as "5🔃".

Very simple extension, no privacy concerns! Open source so you can check the code.

Latest manifest V3 supported Chrome extension.

# Update 2025/08/22

Added some code to stop the rating popup from showing more often than it should.

(it is only meant to show up on the 5th usage!)

# Update 2025/02/05

Added Blacklist support and logging in tab's console.log

Blacklists allow filtering by href url, so things like fonts and cdn files don't get reloaded.

Included are sensible defaults.
