Many websites that require you to login has a session timeout. This means if you are not active for certain period of time your session will expire and when you click on a link or try to post a form next time you will be asked to login again.
To keep the session active you must keep clicking on some links or keep reloading pages.
This extension will do this for you in the background. Once logged in, the extension will keep requesting pages from the website at pre-determined intervals so your session will stay alive without you having to manually reload pages so you will not be kicked back to login form if you were away from you computer for long period of time.
Features:
* Can have multiple background rules running at the same time, keeping active sessions for more that one website.
* Can see the running background requests from the extension popup menu. Can see counter of requests made per site and live countdown until the next background request.
* Some websites implement idle timeout in the browser with JavaScript. This extension can defeat these type of timeouts too
by periodically reloading the current page in the browser tab.
* Can cancel background request from the popup window.
* Can have setup rules to not accept certain cookies by the background processes.
* Can include extra header/value with background and reload requests
* Option to play beep 10 seconds before page reload.
* Option to disable power-saving mode to prevent computer from hibernating while background requests are running.
===============================
This is an Open Source project!

I hope other extension developers will find this project helpful when developing their own extensions.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
