I 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

Works well with auto refresh on newspaper websites in Australia.

Doesn't work for me with https://zoom.us/j/ urls

Tested on twitter, doesn't work.
