Auto Refresh Plus provide additional controls to enhance productivity and automate interactions beyond standard refresh and monitoring. These tools allow you to execute custom scripts, generate automation using AI, and control key actions using keyboard shortcuts. Together, they help streamline repetitive tasks, improve efficiency, and give you faster, more flexible control over how the extension operates.
Auto Refresh Plus allows you to automate actions on webpages using Custom Scripts and the built-in AI Script Generator.
Custom Scripts enable you to run JavaScript during different stages of the refresh and monitoring process. You can trigger scripts when a refresh starts, after the page loads, or when a monitored keyword is found or lost. This gives advanced users full control to automate workflows, modify page behavior, or perform complex actions.
Common use cases include:
Custom scripts are configured from General Settings, where you can define your JavaScript code and specify URL patterns to control where the script runs.
Common URL pattern examples:
For users who do not want to write code, the AI Script Generator provides an easier way to create scripts. You can describe what you want in simple language, and the AI will generate a working script for you. This is ideal for basic to medium-level automation such as auto-clicking, scrolling, or simple conditional actions.
AI Script GeneratorIn addition to AI generation, you can also explore ready-made scripts from the Script Marketplace. This includes commonly used automation scripts shared by the community, which can be used instantly without creating your own.
Script MarketplaceThis combination of manual scripting, AI-generated scripts, and marketplace templates provides a complete automation system suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
Configuration
The Hotkeys feature in Auto Refresh Plus allows you to control key functions of the extension using keyboard shortcuts. Instead of opening the extension popup each time, you can quickly trigger actions directly from your keyboard.
Hotkeys help speed up common tasks and make it easier to manage refresh actions while working or browsing.
Using hotkeys, you can perform actions such as:
Hotkeys can be configured from Extension General Settings, where you can assign custom keyboard shortcuts based on your preferences. This allows you to create a setup that fits your workflow and makes controlling Auto Refresh Plus faster and more efficient.
Each shortcut must include at least one modifier key such as Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Command to ensure compatibility and avoid conflicts with system shortcuts.

Refresh Controls
Auto Refresh Plus includes all tools related to managing how and when a webpage refreshes, offering options such as predefined intervals, custom timing, random refresh patterns, countdown timers, and refresh limits. These controls allow you to fine-tune refresh behavior based on your needs, whether you want consistent updates, controlled timing, or more dynamic refresh patterns, giving you full flexibility and precise control over how the extension operates.
URL & Tab Automation
Auto Refresh Plus extends refresh controls with advanced automation features that manage how specific URLs and browser tabs behave during refresh cycles. It allows you to automatically start refresh on selected URLs, manage active tabs, handle URL changes and redirections, and detect conditions such as captchas or error pages. These features are designed for more advanced use cases, giving you greater control and automation over multiple tabs and dynamic browsing scenarios beyond basic interval-based refreshing.
Page Monitor
Auto Refresh Plus adds intelligent monitoring on top of refresh controls, allowing you to detect changes on a webpage based on keywords, expressions, or content updates. Instead of simply refreshing at intervals, it enables the extension to react to specific conditions such as text appearing, disappearing, or changing, making it ideal for tracking availability, price updates, notifications, or dynamic content. With multiple monitoring modes, detection methods, and advanced options, it provides precise control over when and how actions should be triggered during the refresh process.
Advanced Monitoring
Auto Refresh Plus enhances Page Monitor by adding more precise control and automated actions when changes are detected. It allows you to focus on specific areas of a webpage, highlight detected keywords, automatically scroll to matched content, and even trigger actions like auto-clicking. These features are designed for users who need faster response, better visibility, and deeper control over how monitoring behaves on dynamic or complex pages.
