doesnt work anymore in background.
It only works if the window is active
No longer works.
does not work…
Sadly not working now, it was great as well 🙁
It’s working for me now, after not working earlier this week.
Doesn’t work any more after twitter UI update in July 2019.
Doesn’t work with new twitter
I saw lots of recent reviews stating that this extension no longer worked as intended. However, it seems to be working just fine for me. When there are new tweets, I see the “X new tweets” message for a split second, and then it automatically displays the newest tweets in my timeline. Thank you!
EDIT: As of July 16, 2019 this extension no longer works with “old twitter.” I saw that devs changelog that said it was updated today to work with “new twitter.” However, I haven’t had the new site pushed to me yet, so I’m back to refreshing manually. If this extension starts working again for me, I’ll change my rating back to 5 stars.
no longer works as of 7/16/2019
Worked great until the new twitter layout, please update this
Please update to the new Twitter Design. Thanks!
It doesn’t refresh the page. The one thing it’s supposed to do.
Excuse me, but so I’d really like to see auto-refresh rate settings for this extension personally asap, please.
Once again, thank you so much! Amen!
Thanks
No longer working as of September 19th, 2018 on Windows 10
this ext still working for Chrome 69 win 8.1 (sep-2018)
didn’t work on chrome
Very Good Job!! I love this add-in!
!!!EDIT It looks like an update came out today that fixes this. Back to 5 stars. Awesome!!!!
Something happened in the last week. Before if you scrolled down a bit it pause refreshing and you could explore your twitter feed. But now for some reason it keeps pushing you to the top. Very annoying and makes this worse than having to click the ## new messages alert.
please update again, so it doesn’t get me to the top after every new tweet
made my twitter feed lag so bad
Seems to work well. If it doesn’t work at first, just refresh the page a few times. I like this b/c it only updates when there is something to update.
Works. What more could you ask for?
Only works when I scroll the page.
Get “Auto refresh for twitter” instead.
