The Internet browsers that most of us use at the moment are programs that already offer us a lot of their own functions. But at the same time, more and more users prefer to add additional ones through the popular extensions. This is the case, for example, that we are going to talk about in these same lines, we refer to Tab Reloader.
Let’s talk about applications of the importance of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge , as most of you already know, they are very complete. At the same time they do not stop growing and improving thanks to the almost constant updates they periodically receive. But that does not mean that they are complete or perfect, hence the use of extensions to which we were referring.
These add-ons are numerous, let’s talk about the Internet browser we are talking about. Thus, thanks to these additions, we have the possibility of adding other interesting functions, as is the case in these lines. In fact we are going to talk about an extension that in certain cases will be very helpful on the Internet. Specifically we refer to Tab Reloader, an extension that ensures that we have greater control over reloading tabs.
Advantages presented by Tab Reloader in the browser
And it is that, as surely many of you already know first hand, on many occasions we find a large number of loaded tabs. These open in a single program window, but if they are very numerous, their management can be somewhat complicated. Of course, here the important thing is not the tabs as such, but the contents that we can access from each one of them. That is why we may be interested in installing Tab Reloader and managing these elements from the icon that is created.
This, as usual, is located on the right side of the address bar of the corresponding browser where we have installed it. Well, to start we will tell you that this add-on provides us with a new panel in the toolbar to perform a multitude of tasks related to reloading tabs. We can also manage these actions individually for each of these elements.
In this way, from the extension’s own control panel, we will have the opportunity to define a custom recharge period for each tab . At the same time, it can be said that these tab reloading processes can be activated or deactivated at any time from the add-on icon.
Interface and how Tab Reloader works
Well, as we say, just install the extension as such in the browser, it adds a new icon to the interface. Therefore, to access the control panel that configures it, we only have to click on the same icon. We must know that these controls that we can carry out on reloading tabs, works independently for each open tab . This means that the changes we make in one are not reflected in the rest.
Say that when clicking on the icon with the mouse , we find two well differentiated sections in the same interface . On the one hand, at the top we find a total of 5 customizable options. These allow us to perform tasks such as reloading only if the tab is active, or using the cache or not. We can also automatically restore the reload jobs after a restart, or reload the tabs from the context menu.
As we are programming actions, the number of these will be placed as a number on the icon of the extension. Of course, we will always have the opportunity to disable these scheduled tasks. For this, it is enough that we make sure to locate ourselves in the appropriate tab, that first, then we open the options from the icon of the extension, and deactivate the scheduled work. Similarly, just by closing the tab, all processes are disabled
Schedule reloading tabs
Now, if we focus on the second part of the interface , that’s where we find a simple clock that allows us to set the recharge times. Thus, from here we will have the possibility to indicate the days, hours, seconds or minutes that must pass to execute the recharge tasks.
In this way, as we have seen, we will have the possibility, in a very simple way, to reload the contents of the websites in a controlled and programmed way. Furthermore, we can carry it out independently for each of the tabs that we have open at that time.
How to download the Tab Reloader extension
First of all and as is usual in this type of content, the extension that we have told you about, Tab Reloader , is completely free. So we can download it install in the most popular web browsers today, at no cost. Therefore, below we leave you the links so that you can install it in both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome directly. These correspond to the official stores of these two important programs.
