@Steffie said in Periodic tab reload – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2056.19:
Afaik , this initial version of this new feature is not sticky across relaunches [of the individual tabs, nor the browser].
Neither is the extension, if I remember correctly I've always had to reset the reload timer after restarting the browser. So it's nothing new. Even if that difference exists, it's such a minor issue that it wouldn't prevent me from removing the extension.
Actually, will the persistence of the reload timer across restarts be optional? I don't think I would want that to be my default behavior. Already, unless a tab is pinned, it shouldn't load upon restarting the browser until I activate the tab, with my configuration.
As I use lots of tabs, I don't want to slam the network and put the load on my browser at startup. I might be in a hurry to load one specific page, so it's better for me that way. Not having the periodic tab reload persist is sort of similar, though I understand why some want it, just as others might not like lazy loading of tabs.
Instead of tying the persistence of the periodic tab reload timer setting to a specific tab, I think it might make sense to tie it to a specific URL. Actually, instead of tying the reload timer at all to a tab, putting it on a URL or partial URL (including any URLs that begin with the defined URL) seems like a better design. It's not (typicallly) that people want a certain tab to automatically reload on an interval, rather certain pages regardless of the tab they are in.
If this hasn't already been requested, I'll write it up and post it in the feature requests category.
