From Edge to Firefox, this is the best tab reloader add on! It is simple and work perfectly, Recommended!

Works perfectly, very reliable and LOTS of configuration options. Other extensions failed to work together with the "tab suspend" feature of Edge, this one works flawlessly and keeps the tab from sleeping.
