Does refreshing stop when I close the window?
No. The refresh loop runs in a background service worker, so it keeps going after you close the window. Pressing Start pops the controls into a window of their own, and an amber badge on the toolbar icon counts how many runs are going, and each running tab is marked in the tab strip — reopen the window to see the refresh count and press Stop.
How often can the page refresh?
As often as milliseconds apart, or as rarely as once a day — long waits are handed to Chrome's own scheduler, so they survive the extension going idle and survive your computer sleeping. If what you need is reload-until-a-button-appears, its sibling Refresh n Click covers 100 milliseconds to 10 minutes and adds a Fastest mode that reloads as soon as the previous load has finished.
Does clearing the cache affect my other tabs?
No. 1Click Auto Refresh limits cache clearing to the origin of the page being refreshed, so every other site keeps its cache. If your Chrome build cannot narrow it down, the extension skips clearing instead of wiping everything.
Does it collect any data?
No analytics, no account, no remote scripts, nothing transmitted. Settings stay in your browser. See the privacy policy for the full statement.
Can I stop a run with the keyboard?
Yes. A Stop shortcut is declared, but nothing is bound out of the box so it cannot clash with a shortcut you already use. Assign one at chrome://extensions/shortcuts — paste that into the address bar; it is not on the extension's own Details page. Chrome can also make it global, so a run can be stopped while another app is in front.
How do I report a problem?
Write to support@small-labs.com. The extension transmits nothing on its own, so your report is the only way we learn of a problem — please include which extension and version you use, your Chrome version, and what happened.
