See the setupA practical browser tool for pages that change
Some pages update quietly while you are doing something else. Free Auto Refresh can check a tab on a schedule and stop when a chosen phrase or page change appears.
Use these examples as starting points, not guarantees. Choose a reasonable interval, monitor only pages you are allowed to access, and follow each website's usage policies.
It alerts you; it does not act for you
The extension reloads the page and tells you when something changes. It does not click, buy, book or submit anything, and it does not get around logins, queues or rate limits.
Questions, answered.
What kinds of pages can I monitor?
Any normal web page you can open in a tab, including pages behind a login you are signed in to.
Can it stop when a page changes?
Yes. Choose a watch rule and it stops and notifies you when the text appears, disappears, or the content changes.
Does the extension bypass a site's access rules?
No. It makes the same request as pressing reload. Queues, logins and rate limits still apply.
How often should I refresh?
As rarely as the job allows. For most pages 30 seconds to a few minutes is enough, and a random range is kinder to the site.
Will it complete a purchase or booking?
No. It alerts you, and you take the next step yourself.
Choose what the extension should watch for.
Use a timer alone, or stop when specific text or page content changes.
