About Auto Tab Switcher/Reload
Automatically cycle through your open Chrome tabs at a set interval — simple, reliable, and lightweight.
If you’ve ever needed to keep multiple tabs visible without constantly clicking between them, this extension is for you.
========================================================
WHAT IT DOES
Auto Tab Switcher rotates through your open tabs every X seconds (you choose the timing). It’s perfect for:
Monitoring dashboards
Trading platforms
Analytics pages
News feeds
Security camera browser views
Classroom displays
Office status boards
Wall-mounted screens
Just set the interval, turn it on, and let it run.
========================================================
CUSTOM SWITCH INTERVAL
Choose how often tabs switch — for example:
Every 10 seconds
Every 30 seconds
Every 2 minutes
You’re in full control.
There’s also a live countdown in the popup so you can see exactly when the next switch will happen.
========================================================
SMART TAB RELOADING
You can optionally set tabs to reload after a certain number of minutes.
This is useful for dashboards or live data pages that don’t automatically refresh.
The extension handles this intelligently:
Tabs only reload after you leave them
Tabs reload individually (not all at once)
No sudden refresh spikes
You can even set long reload times (like several hours) if needed.
========================================================
AUTO-START OPTION
If you’re using this for a permanent display or monitoring screen, you can enable auto-start so switching begins automatically when Chrome launches.
Set it once and forget it.
========================================================
SIMPLE, CLEAN INTERFACE
No clutter. No unnecessary settings. Just:
Switch interval (seconds)
Reload interval (minutes)
Enable/disable toggle
Optional auto-start
That’s it.
========================================================
LIGHTWEIGHT & EFFICIENT
The extension is designed to be:
Fast
Minimal
Low resource usage
Stable during long sessions
It doesn’t inject ads or modify website content.
========================================================
PRIVACY NOTE
Your privacy is important. Here’s exactly what this extension does — and does not do.
What the extension accesses
It accesses your open tabs only to:
Switch between them
Reload them (if you enable that feature)
That’s it.
What data is collected? - None.
No browsing history is stored
No URLs are transmitted anywhere
No personal information is collected
No analytics or tracking tools are used
No data is sent to external servers
All settings (like intervals and toggles) are stored locally in your Chrome browser using Chrome’s built-in storage.
Does it track activity? - No. The extension does not monitor what you do inside a page. It does not read page content, keystrokes, or form data.
Does it share data? - No. There is no data collection and therefore nothing to share.
Internet connection - The extension does not connect to any external servers. It runs entirely within your browser.
