Auto Tab Switcher Extension

This extension automatically switches between your open tabs at an interval you set, and it can even refresh them for you. It's designed to only work in the window where you start it, so you can keep using other windows without any interruptions. This can be great for dashboards, monitoring tools, or presentations where you need to cycle through different information displays. Since Revolver - Tabs is no longer available, this plugin acts as a functional alternative.

Compatibility: Since it's built for Chrome, it works with all Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera.

This project is forked from ethanwa/ChromeAutoTabSwitcherExtension.
