About

**Hippo Refresh**: This Chrome extension simplifies and automates the process of refreshing web pages, offering a wide range of options to customize your browsing experience. Here's an extended description with the new feature:

1. **Selective Tab or URL Refresh**: With Hippo Refresh, you can easily refresh specific tabs or web pages by URL. This feature allows you to select and refresh multiple tabs from the same website, ensuring that you always have the latest information from your favorite sites.

2. **Customizable Refresh Intervals**: You have the flexibility to define the time intervals at which the selected tabs or URLs will be refreshed. This enables you to stay up to date with live data or keep web apps current, all at your preferred refresh rate.

3. **Visibility Options**: A unique aspect of Hippo Refresh is the ability to choose whether to refresh a page when it's visible or invisible. This means you can set the extension to refresh pages, whether in the foreground or background, ensuring that your content is always updated.

4. **Automation and Convenience**: Hippo Refresh streamlines the process of page refreshes, eliminating the need for manual reloading. This is especially useful for tracking real-time data, such as stock prices, live sports scores, or news updates.

5. **Productivity Enhancement**: By automating the refreshing of web pages, this extension enhances your productivity. It ensures that your web-based applications, emails, or other online resources are always current, saving you valuable time and effort.

6. **Refresh Multiple Tabs from the Same Site**: The new feature in Hippo Refresh allows you to refresh multiple tabs that belong to the same website or domain. This is particularly valuable when you have various tabs open from a single source, such as news articles, social media, or online tools, and you want them all to stay updated simultaneously.

Hippo Refresh is a versatile Chrome extension that caters to users who require regular updates from specific web pages, whether they are single pages or multiple tabs from the same site. It provides extensive customization options, and its ability to refresh pages based on visibility ensures your web content is always current and readily available.
