About Basic Reload Timer

This extension allows you to set a page reload interval in minutes. A countdown in seconds appears on the extension icon for any tab that has an interval set. Reloads will continue in the background. This extension requires no permissions and no permissions are requested in the manifest. I will consider changes to the extent that they do not require permissions and keep the UI very simple. Change Log: 1.1 (2024-12-23) -- disabling autodiscard on tab, resetting timer for most manual and other reloads, using badge background color to indicate that timer is paused 1.1.1 (2025-03-01) -- Fixes bug causing pause indicator to not display after manual refresh. Cleanup and refactoring.
