Refresh All Tabs v1.9

Refresh All Tabs 1.9

First GitHub release of the Chromium Manifest V3 extension.

Highlights

• Refresh tabs manually or on a timer (1 to 1440 minutes).
• Four refresh modes: all tabs, all except the active tab, the current window, or the active tab only.
• Per-site domain exclusions work in all four modes, including timer-triggered refreshes.
• Domains match their subdomains but not lookalike domains. Existing settings are retained on upgrades from 1.6-1.8.
• Fixes for an unavailable active tab, error handling, interval validation, and the localized options page title.
• 19 interface languages, including Russian and English.

Installation

1. Download RefreshAllTabs.1.9.zip below.
2. Extract it to a permanent directory.
3. Open chrome://extensions (or the equivalent page in your Chromium browser), enable Developer mode, and select Load unpacked.
4. Choose the extracted folder containing manifest.json.

For an existing unpacked installation, replace the extension files in the same folder, then click Reload on the extensions page to preserve the extension ID and saved settings.

Verification and limitations

• JavaScript syntax checks, 41 automated regression tests, package validation and ZIP integrity checks are run by GitHub Actions before publication.
• A real installed-extension acceptance check in Comet is still required. Browser-automation checks with a mocked extension API are not equivalent to running the extension in Comet.
• No analytics, remote server, or third-party runtime dependencies.
• Automatic refresh timing depends on Chromium alarms and may be delayed during sleep or browser suspension.
• Refreshing tabs can discard unsaved page content. Exclude sites containing work you want to preserve.
