It works very well, but not automatically !
It's necessary to do what the author explains in the presentation :
"URLs can be blacklisted through a tab's menu, right clicking the toolbar icon, or by selecting 'Options' for this extension.
A button badge with the letter 'S' will appear over the toolbar icon if the active tab is being stopped from auto reloading.
Left clicking the toolbar icon with a button badge will reload the current page."

Works as desired. Press the right mouse button on the website and add the hostname to blacklist, then reload and you should see a red "S" symbol.

Exactly what I needed. When I was moving multiple internet market tabs they're all started to reload and that slowed browser. This extension stopped it.

Ever have a tab on Twitter/X pinned and come back to it later, only to have the whole page hard-refresh before you can read it again? This fixes that annoyance no problem. BTW I logged into my Firefox account for the first time in 5 years to leave this review, that is how happy I was that this annoyance was solved. THANK YOU for this plugin! 💯

It works great on annoying filmweb.pl where settings/flags like:
accessibility.blockautorefresh true
browser.meta_refresh_when_inactive.disabled true
...in FF 107.0.1 (64-bit) didn't work.
Thank you very much!

Works Nicely. I had one website that continued to reload after configuring about:config to stop reloads, this addon stopped it.

Does what it says. The about:config flag "accessibility.blockautorefresh" was not working on independent.co.uk for me for some reason (thought it works fine for other sites such as buzzfeednews.com), and this add-on is doing the job just great. Thanks!

ETA: There is one problem though, the add-on also disables manually reloading/refreshing black listed sites/domains. I suppose it's easy enough to just load a duplicate tab and close the original, but not quite ideal. Ymmv.

Served well for my use case!

ouf, marre des auto update des pages web

For some unbelievably stupid reason, most newspaper sites auto reload every 5 minutes. It is crazy. Thank you for this add-on, which stops that.

I needed Twitter to stop reloading automatically after a tab was inactive for several hours. I did not know that after installing the addon I had to reload the tab for the program to take effect. I assumed that it was not working and I contacted the developer by mail who answered me immediately. And after a few messages he told me that I had to write Twitter.com at the host window and reload the tab for it to work for the first time. And indeed, it worked! Thank you! :D

v.good

It does not work on Google Chrome, I hope it works very soon

Works perfectly on kilx.ba which use http meta refresh 270s, also number of blocked refreshes works fine.

(EDITED to reflect the problem-solving update.) This add-on didn't work on repubblica.it (a newspaper). However, the developer looked into it, and he won it over at last! This is the first "stop auto reload" extension that works on that site, as far as I know. The developer reacted quickly to my comment, and the problem was fixed in 48 hours or so.

5 stars fully deserved!!

Exactly what I need. This addon remembers the specific websites that I want to stop the reloading, not others.

Really good for newspapers in Argentina

Tested and working fine with newspapers in Argentina (La Nacion & Infobae)

ready good. I have been looking for this feature for many years. an excellent complement when the accessibility.blockautorefresh was not working. BRAVO to the developer @kgersen

I have been trying to stop drudgereport.com from auto reloading for some time. I tried noscript and ublock origin with no luck. I stumbled onto this addon and decided to try it out.

The first thing I tried was to add the url to the list...no luck. Then tried the host name...again no luck.

Then I remembered I could open the source code. I did and near the top was the auto reload code. I copied this line:

function autoRefresh()self.location.reload(true)

into the regular expression box and changed the (true) to (false) VOILA!.
That worked.

Now all that refreshes is the favico. LOL
