About Evirgen — Auto Refresh
Evirgen reloads any tab automatically — each tab with its own interval, its own countdown, its own on/off switch.
Unlike most auto-refresh extensions, it never throws away what you are typing: if you typed on the page in the last 15 seconds, the reload waits.
FEATURES
- Per-tab timers — every tab is configured independently
- One-tap presets — 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 minutes
- Custom intervals — from 5 seconds up to 9999 minutes, in seconds or minutes
- Live countdown — on the toolbar badge and in the popup
- Typing guard — the reload is postponed while you are typing, so a half-written message or search is never lost
- Hard reload — bypass the cache for pages that must be genuinely fresh
- Active timers list — every refreshing tab in one place, each with its own remaining time; click a title to jump straight to that tab
- Stop all — one button ends every timer at once
- Keyboard shortcut — Alt+Shift+R toggles the timer on the current tab
- English, Turkish and Hungarian interface
LIGHT BY DESIGN
Evirgen was built around one rule: the browser must never feel it running.
- While no timer is running, the extension does not wake up at all — browsing costs you nothing
- The background worker sleeps otherwise; it wakes for settings changes and a handful of badge updates per cycle, never once per second
- Timers survive background-tab throttling and tab discarding, so a dashboard left in another window still refreshes on time
- Each timer lives inside its own tab — close the tab and it is gone
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
- No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no telemetry, no ads
- Refresh settings live in session storage and disappear when the browser closes; only your language choice and a single "is any timer running" flag are stored locally
- Page content is never read. The typing guard only notes when you last typed, never what
- Nothing is sent anywhere — there is no server
Useful for monitoring dashboards, status pages, ticket queues, build pipelines, live scores, auctions, price watches and any page you are tired of refreshing by hand.
