• Custom interval with sub-second precision (e.g. 0.5 seconds)
• Random interval between a configurable range
• Refresh specific tab, URL pattern, or all tabs at once

📋 SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
• Create, edit, and delete named refresh schedules
• Set start and end times for scheduled refresh windows
• "Refresh URL" mode (stops if URL changes) vs "Refresh Tab" mode
• Option to only refresh when the tab is focused
• Schedules persist across browser restarts

🔍 PAGE CHANGE MONITORING
• Monitor any page for content changes
• Target specific elements with CSS selectors or XPath
• Get desktop notifications when changes are detected
• View change history log with timestamps
• Configurable debounce to avoid false positives on dynamic pages

⏱️ LIVE BADGE COUNTDOWN

• Works even when the popup is closed

🎨 CUSTOMIZATION

• Global pause toggle to suspend all schedules at once
