Hello!

I hope this is the right board. I need a solution to automatically refresh a browser window in chrome in intervals like every 10 minutes. I know that there are many Chrome Extensions which make a good job but im a little bit afraid of using them because of the rights i have to give them. So my idea was to make an automation. is that possible or do you know a better solution for this?

Thank you and sorry for my bad englisch :)
 
Create a text document with the following:

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>html, body, iframe { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; }</style>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/automatic-refresh-with-automator.2254883/"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Change the URL to the page you want to update. Save it with an .html extension and open it in Chrome.

Make sure it's a plain text document with no formatting. You can do this with TextEdit by choosing Make Plain Text under the Format menu.
