About Refreshing Tab Slideshow
Refreshing Tab Slideshow is a simple, reliable way to automatically cycle through your open tabs at a configurable interval — with full support for multiple browser windows running independently.
Tabs can optionally refresh when they are not in view, ensuring smooth transitions and up-to-date content with no stale data. Once set up, the slideshow runs hands-free.
How it works:
• Install the extension and pin it to the toolbar
• Open the tabs you want to include
• Set the delay interval in the options page
• Click the pinned icon to start or stop the slideshow
That’s it — no complicated setup.
Unlike many tab slideshow extensions, Refreshing Tab Slideshow treats each browser window independently. Each window can run its own slideshow, with its own delay interval, configuration, and on/off state — all at the same time.
Upgrade to Refreshing Tab Slideshow Pro for a small, one-time fee to unlock tab cycle intervals under 30 seconds in any window. The upgrade activates instantly after purchase and will be available automatically when you're signed into Chrome.
For a limited time, the Pro upgrade is automatically available at no cost.
This extension is perfect for:
• Live dashboards and monitoring screens
• Agile teams tracking sprint velocity and release progress
• Multi-monitor and multi-window display setups
• Reports, charts, statistics, and image slideshows
• Store displays and kiosks
Multiple browser windows are supported and run independently, each with its own delay interval, configuration, and activation status. The pinned toolbar icon clearly shows whether the slideshow is active in each individual window, making it easy to control multiple slideshows at once.
Fullscreen tips:
Windows/Linux: F11
ChromeOS: Ctrl+Shift+F or menu > Zoom > Fullscreen
macOS: ⌘+Ctrl+F or the green window button
Exit fullscreen using the same shortcut or by moving the mouse to the top to reveal the exit control.
Features and fixes in the latest version:
