About CSS Easy Reload

Easily reload the CSS on a page with a simple click or keyboard shortcut (CTRL+Q by default). Reloads the CSS on the page for each link tag by appending a unique suffix to the href url. Aims to reduce browser flash by only removing old styles once the new styles have fully loaded. Supports auto refresh after a set time (default shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+Q). Shows the number of stylesheets refreshed each reload on the badge icon as "5🔃". Very simple extension, no privacy concerns! Open source so you can check the code. Latest manifest V3 supported Chrome extension. # Update 2025/08/22 Added some code to stop the rating popup from showing more often than it should. (it is only meant to show up on the 5th usage!) # Update 2025/02/05 Added Blacklist support and logging in tab's console.log Blacklists allow filtering by href url, so things like fonts and cdn files don't get reloaded. Included are sensible defaults.
