Page Auto Refresher

What's New in Version 3.0

Clearer layout: main controls first, then an Upgrade to Pro section (interval / limits / detach / Start–Stop stay uncluttered).
Pro benefits and CTAs grouped in one place; no scattered upsell text on inputs (paywalls for fast interval, multiple tabs, and detach unchanged).
Idle status panel removed so the popup stays compact; countdown and progress show only while a refresh is running.
Floating / detached controls open beside your browser window instead of jumping to a default corner; clearer labels and tooltips for pop-out and detach.
Encoding fixes (UTF-8 meta, ASCII-safe separators and copy) so text and symbols display correctly.
Manifest prepared for Web Store submission (no custom update_url).

🚀 What's New in Version 2.1
⚡️ Auto-Stop Limits New optional limit setting allows you to stop auto-refreshing automatically after a specific number of reloads (e.g., stop after 50 refreshes).
📌 Persistent "Pop-Out" Mode Need to keep an eye on the timer? You can now detach the popup into its own floating window using the new "Keep window open" checkbox or the Pop-Out icon. It stays visible while you multitask.
🎨 Modern Redesign A fresh, elegant look with improved readability, intuitive controls, and clear status indicators for your refresh progress.
🛠 Enhanced Reliability Timers now run in the background service worker, ensuring consistent performance even when the popup is closed.
