Automatically refresh website or tab in Google Chrome

Stefan

Sometimes you want to see information from a website, but it takes a while before this information is available. It can then help to automatically refresh a tab in Google Chrome.

You no longer have to click the refresh button every time or the CTRL + F5 key on your keyboard for Windows or CMD + SHIFT + R for macOS.

To automatically refresh a page, you must install a browser extension. Automatically refreshing a web page is not a basic functionality in the Google Chrome browser.

De Multi Auto Refresh browser extension allows you to set an automatic refresh interval for different tabs. This allows you to determine per tab whether and how many seconds the tab should be automatically refreshed.

Right-click Add to Chrome. Then click Add extension to install the extension in the Chrome browser.
