posted 4 years agoSorry, the extension won't work on Chrome. When this extension blocks a tab from auto reloading, Chrome will show an error page.- Rated 5 out of 5by Nijaz Muratović, 4 years agoWorks perfectly on kilx.ba which use http meta refresh 270s, also number of blocked refreshes works fine.

- Rated 5 out of 5by juan riccio, 4 years ago(EDITED to reflect the problem-solving update.) This add-on didn't work on repubblica.it (a newspaper). However, the developer looked into it, and he won it over at last! This is the first "stop auto reload" extension that works on that site, as far as I know. The developer reacted quickly to my comment, and the problem was fixed in 48 hours or so.
5 stars fully deserved!!Developer response
posted 4 years agoThe extension has been updated and there is a now a section in the Options page that can stop a different URL from loading, if a tab is currently being stopped. Input "https://www.repubblica.it/index.html?refresh_ce" in that textarea and that should stop "https://www.rebublica.it/" from refreshing. - Rated 5 out of 5by webbertiger, 5 years agoExactly what I need. This addon remembers the specific websites that I want to stop the reloading, not others.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13404087, 5 years agoI have been trying to stop drudgereport.com from auto reloading for some time. I tried noscript and ublock origin with no luck. I stumbled onto this addon and decided to try it out.
The first thing I tried was to add the url to the list...no luck. Then tried the host name...again no luck.
Then I remembered I could open the source code. I did and near the top was the auto reload code. I copied this line:
function autoRefresh()self.location.reload(true)
into the regular expression box and changed the (true) to (false) VOILA!.
That worked.
Now all that refreshes is the favico. LOL - Rated 4 out of 5by Michael0591, 5 years agoWorks well with auto refresh on newspaper websites in Australia.
