How to Auto Refresh in Chrome
To auto-refresh a webpage in Chrome, you can use one of several methods:
1. Use the built-in auto-refresh feature in Chrome:
- Open the webpage you want to auto-refresh. - Click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of Chrome. - Select "More Tools" and then "Developer Tools" from the dropdown menu. - Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows, Linux) or Command+Option+I (Mac) to open the Developer Tools panel. - In the Developer Tools panel, click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner. - Select "More Tools" and then "Sensors" from the dropdown menu. - In the Sensors panel, select the "Auto Reload" checkbox. - Set the reload interval to the desired value. - Click anywhere outside the Developer Tools panel to close it.
2. Use a Chrome extension:
- Install an auto-refresh extension from the Chrome Web Store, such as "Easy Auto Refresh" or "Tab Reloader (page auto refresh)". - Open the webpage you want to auto-refresh. - Click on the extension icon in the top-right corner of Chrome. - Set the reload interval to the desired value.
3. Use a bookmarklet:
- Create a new bookmark in Chrome. - Right-click on the bookmark and select "Edit". - In the URL field, enter the following code:
javascript:setInterval(function(){location.reload()}, *interval in milliseconds*);
- Replace "*interval in milliseconds*" with the desired reload interval in milliseconds (e.g. 5000 for 5 seconds). - Save the bookmark. - Open the webpage you want to auto-refresh. - Click on the bookmark to start the auto-refresh.
