    ⭐ Features Detailed explanations
    
    🔹 Refresh Controls
    
    (1) Predefined Time Intervals  
    Predefined Time Intervals allow you to quickly select common refresh timings without manually configuring values. This is useful for users who want a fast and simple setup using standard intervals. It ensures consistent refresh behavior and reduces the time required to configure settings.
    
    (2) Custom Refresh Interval  
    Custom Refresh Interval gives you full control over refresh timing by allowing you to define exact hours, minutes, and seconds. It supports very short intervals for high-frequency monitoring tasks. This is ideal when precise timing is required for tracking fast-changing content.
    
    (3) Random Interval  
    Random Interval refreshes pages at varying times within a defined range. This helps simulate natural browsing behavior and avoids predictable refresh patterns. It is especially useful when monitoring systems where fixed intervals are not recommended.
    
    (4) Countdown Timer  
    Countdown Timer allows you to start refresh after a delay or at a specific date and time. It also supports scheduling to run refresh tasks only during selected time windows. This feature is useful for timed events such as sales, ticket releases, or booking openings.
    
    (5) Visual Timer  
    Visual Timer displays a live countdown directly on the webpage so you can monitor refresh activity easily. The position of the timer can be customized and is saved per domain. This eliminates the need to open the extension popup repeatedly.
    
    (6) Hard Refresh / Bypass Cache  
    Hard Refresh forces the browser to reload content directly from the server instead of using cached data. This ensures that you always get the most up-to-date version of the page. It is essential for real-time monitoring where cached content may cause delays.
