The ScheduledSurfer extension provides a simple and efficient solution for those who want to automate the refreshing of their current browser tab. With this plugin, users can set a specific time and frequency for auto refresh.

This plugin offers two main features:

Scheduled Refresh: You can define a precise time (in 24hr format) when the page refresh should begin auto-refreshing. The page will refresh initially at the specified time and will continue to refresh at intervals you define in seconds.

User Defined Refresh Count: You can determine how many times the page should refresh. The plugin will respect this limit and cease refreshing after the specified number of refreshes.

Additional features include:

Save your Settings: Your preferences for refresh time and frequency are saved for future use.
Easy Control: With the intuitive Start and Stop buttons, you can easily control the refresh function.
Status Display: Stay informed about the plugin's activity with the status display.

Whether you need to keep a live-feed updated or periodically check for changes on a static website, ScheduledSurfer is the perfect tool to simplify your browsing experience.
