8. At the bottom right you will also find a gear button that you can use to call up the settings of the extension. In these you can, for example, specify that Auto Refresh Plus should be activated immediately when Chrome is started ("Enable This Feature ") and a certain website opened (" Auto Start URL ") or a certain sound should be played after the reload (" Play Sound ").

A good alternative to "Auto Refresh Plus" and thus also to ReloadEvery is the free extension "ChromeReload":

1. To do this, install the extension as described in steps 1 and 2 above. So click twice on "Add". ChromeReload's icon is similar to that of Auto Fresh Plus. However, this is round and a little darker and the arrow rotates in the opposite direction.
2. Select the tab you want to be reloaded regularly and then left-click on the ChromeReload extension icon.
3. Eight different intervals are now available for the reload. Alternatively, you can set a random reload ("Random"), whereby the maximum interval would be 30 minutes, or use a self-defined time in seconds at the bottom.
4. As soon as you have clicked on the desired time, the tab is reloaded and the countdown begins, which you can also see with the corresponding symbol. If you want to set a time yourself, you have to click on "Set" after entering it.

To switch off the reload function, you either have to close the tab again or select it, click on the ChromeReload icon and then activate the first entry "Never".
