Sometimes there is a need to automatically update pages or pages for special purposes. For example, before I had to layout a website in a text editor, and in the browser I needed to refresh the page in order to see the results in real time.
Of course, now there are special programs for such tasks under Windows. But in fact, such a necessity for the browser is needed for a variety of purposes. Setting up page refresh is easy in any browser.
How to set up auto-refresh pages in Opera
With the advent of the new version of Opera, the developers have cut down this functionality. Now, to set up page auto-refresh, you will need an additional extension, as for other browsers. In general, after the update, Opera greatly simplified its browser, which is why some features were cut by the developers themselves.
Setting up page refresh.
- For the old version of the browser, right-click the mouse directly on the page and select from the context menu that appears - Refresh page every;

How to enable auto-update: best plugins
It was noted above that there is no automatic update function in Google Chrome. To implement this option, you must download and configure one of the available extensions.
Let's highlight several options:
- Auto Refresh. This is one of the best extensions for Chrome that allows you to automatically refresh pages at a certain interval. The main functions are setting the timer directly in the application icon, changing the color, separate time intervals for different sites, etc. The program was created in 2020 by a team of young developers, and since then it has been constantly updated.
- Page Refresh. The extension is easy and quick to set up, as well as reboot automatically. As in most similar programs, here you can configure the extension’s operating time for auto-refreshing the Chrome page, set individual timers, and solve other tasks.
- Easy Auto Refresh. This is one of the best programs designed for auto-update and reboot. Options - the ability to restart the Chrome browser after a strictly set time, remembering the scroll position and settings. To get started, just install the program and set the number of seconds for automatic updating. You can also select a specific time of day, show notifications about text being found on a page, read the cache, etc.
You can find other programs on the Internet that allow you to solve the issue of auto-updating in Chrome - Free Auto Refresh, Auto Refresh Plus, Data Studio Auto Refresh, Tab Auto Refresh and others.
Setting up per-second page refreshes in Google Chrome
Here is the same thing that we did above, with the exception of expansion. Here it is different, it’s called Auto Refresh.

Now in the Chrome browser a wheel will appear in the upper right corner, when clicked, a window with settings will open. Set the time in seconds. The default is 10 seconds, after which the page will reload each time.
Super Auto Refresh Plus
Another small extension that will help us solve the problem. Its interface is significantly different from what can be found in the previous add-on. But nevertheless, managing the plugin is quite convenient.
There is no Russian language in the product. But there is an intuitive interface, there are no ads and there is no paid version of the extension. And for some users this is precisely the decisive factor.
The user can select the time interval for updating a specific page. In fact, this is where the functionality ends. The plugin works perfectly with Yandex Browser, although it is written for Google Chrome.
It is worth noting that Super Auto Refresh requires very little RAM to operate. And this suggests that it can be successfully used on relatively old and weak machines. And now about the installation.
Installation and use
The installation process itself is exactly the same as in the previous case. The plugin will be installed from the Google Chrome online store. That's where you can find him. We will also talk about using the product.
It is worth noting that there are pre-configured time intervals here. Essentially, the user cannot enter any number of seconds. However, first things first. Here are detailed instructions.

- After installation, the plugin icon will appear in the toolbar. We click on it.
- Select a time interval from the drop-down list and click “Start” .

This is how Super Auto Refresh Plus should work. Of course, in the previous plugin the interface was much more convenient. But this extension does not have a paid version. Although it is equipped with much poorer functionality. But for the average user this is quite enough.
