Plain refreshing can’t read pages at all. Alerts only work on the sites you allow, and you can remove that access any time.

Questions
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
Yes, every feature is free, with no limits and no ads. There’s no account and nothing to buy. If Refreshly saves you time, you can support it with a tip on Ko-fi, but you never have to.
Why does Chrome ask for access to a site?
Only for alerts, Smart Pause, Keep scroll, “stop if redirected” and refreshing faster than every 30 seconds, because those need to look at the page. Chrome asks once, for that one site. Plain refreshing needs no access at all. You can remove access any time in Refreshly’s settings.
Does it keep refreshing when the tab is in the background?
Yes. Each tab has its own timer, and it keeps running in background tabs and even in tabs Chrome has put to sleep.
Can it refresh faster than every 30 seconds?
Yes, down to every second. Chrome’s own timers can’t go below 30 seconds, so for faster refreshes Refreshly times them from inside the page, which is why Chrome asks for that site’s access first.
Will it wipe what I’m typing?
Not with Smart Pause on: Refreshly waits while you type or have unsaved form input. You can also turn on “Skip while I’m looking at this tab”, and “Keep my scroll position” puts you back where you were after each refresh.
Can I leave it running overnight?
Yes. Tick “Keep my computer awake” so your computer doesn’t go to sleep, and “Stop if the page goes to another address” so it stops if you get logged out. While you’re offline, Refreshly skips refreshes instead of loading error pages.
Does it work in Microsoft Edge?
Yes. Edge can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store: open the link, click “Allow extensions from other stores”, then “Add to Chrome”.
Stop pressing F5.
