PRO TIP: Auto refresh is cool! ?
? Q Clock ?
Many of us are addicted to refreshing RISING (don't do this on NEW if you value your sanity!!!)
You can automate refresh by using an extension like this for Brave and other Chromium based browsers: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-refresh-plus-page-mo/hgeljhfekpckiiplhkigfehkdpldcggm?hl=en
Just set it to refresh for you every minute or 5 or whatever you like, then minimize it and get to work! Just don't forget, left click interesting links with control/command so it opens in a new tab and doesn't autorefresh this too!
Similar extensions are available for Waterfox!
i would advise against that for the health of the website, if a lot of people are doing this you will have an effect, albeit minor, on the quality of the server while its running; just do it manually for whenever you look at it as if a lot of people are doing it its basically a ddos
Coming from a software engineer and server admin standpoint, this kind of refresh is minimal. DDOS is sub-second refreshing. You're right in saying it's a minor effect, but it's a super, super, super minor effect.
i was more considering the possibility of several thousand people doing this
Once this sub becomes so popular that there are this many users seeing and using this tip, this tip will be far, far down in the history... :)
fair enough I'm just overthinking a bit
