Auto-Reload Options
-
Absolutely a vote from me, for two reasons:
- Using extensions to augment missing behaviour is often a security risk. An average user won't be able to tell whether or not the extension actually can get access to the requests being sent.
- For my personal part, my bank recently reduced the auto-logoff timer down to 5 minutes so that I have to manually click on something to avoid being logged out if I need access for e.g. 30 minutes instead of 5 minutes.
I would formulate the need for a function like this:
- New option on the right-click menu for a tab to "Auto-reload page and elements" that has a submenu
- There should be a "Block page and elements from auto-refreshing" and a "Cancel Auto-reload" option on the submenu
- Ideally, the "Auto-reload page and elements" option should have some predefined values, like e.g. "Every 5/25/55/115/28/550/1750 seconds" but it should also have a "choice for "Configure auto-reload" that let the user specify BOTH the interval between reloads AND a timer to stop the reloading after a period. This is important for e.g. banking sites where you might want a reload every 2 minutes for up to e.g. half an hour.

I use a Chrome plugin for this already, ChromeReloadPlus, but I would love for it to become a standard feature

@Pesala But it does not work on sub path or different param.
If set on domain.com, it does not work on domain.com/path or domain.com?param=value. -
Vivaldi 3.4 now offers periodic reload options, accessible from the tab context menu: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-3-4-desktop/

Copy-paste from report VB-73190:
======================
Tab reload is too poor:
I wish I could remove the tab reload extension from V 3.4, but sadly I have to continue using it.
Super Auto Refresh extension vs Vivaldi refresh:
Super Auto Refresh: 2-5-10-30 seconds, 1-2-3-5-8-10-30-60 minutes.
Vivaldi refresh: 1-2-5-10-30 minutes.Please add more refresh options to make the Vivaldi refresh as rich as "Super Auto Refresh".
I suggest having 1-2-5-10-30 seconds, 1-2-3-5-10-30-60 minutes.Also, please add the opportunity to set a custom number of seconds/minutes.

If you would like seconds, please vote for: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/51688/periodic-reload-in-secondsIf you would like a custom time:
open quick commands (F2), typing "Period Reload" (no quotes), a space, and then a number, this will set the reload period in seconds. Minimum is 1 minute. -

If you would like a custom time:
open quick commandsI meant a usual simple way via the Reload context menu together with minutes and seconds, and configurable to be either seconds or minutes
-
@Agych Having a custom entry in the context menu would be helpful for people who don't use quick commands, I agree.
Unfortunately for now QC is the only way.
-
@Agych Would also be useful if these reload settings were saved upon restart.
-
Yes, I think this is a great feature but I'd want it to persist between restarts. And the timer should reset if the page is manually reloaded, but it shouldn't turn it off.
