Oh no you didn't!

Chrome has a habit of crashing, often for no real reason. When running a Kiosk, or Digital Signage - the ability the quickly reload the page is essential. This plugin does exactly that.

This is not a replacement for correcting problems in the first place (memory leaks especially) and isn't particularly useful in an everyday environment, where you can simply press the refresh button yourself.

Installation

  1. Download and unzip package onto kiosk or machine running Chrome
  2. Open Chrome extensions - chrome://extensions
  3. Enable developer mode
  4. Select "Load unpacked", select the base folder ("ohnoyoudidnt"), and click 'ok'
  5. Turn developer mode off
  6. Simulate a failure!

Additional notes

-The extension will check the status of tabs every 60 seconds, this is configurable in background.js -Events will be stored in Insights under the "ChromeStat" event type
