Served well for my use case!

UPDATE:
done what suggested by dev.:
"Save the following in Options and then reload the repubblica.it page for the settings to take effect:

List of hostnames (one per line):
repubblica.it"

result: REFRESH and again and again...i really think this is a fake add on


on repubblica.it it fails...i've setted this:
List of hostnames (one per line).
repubblica.it

List of hostnames (one per line).
https://www.repubblica.it/
https://www.repubblica.it/index.html

ouf, marre des auto update des pages web

For some unbelievably stupid reason, most newspaper sites auto reload every 5 minutes. It is crazy. Thank you for this add-on, which stops that.

Does not work on Pinterest.com, unfortunately this was the sole website I loaded the plugin for. Happy to work with developer on solution, but I'm just a user, not a programmer...

I needed Twitter to stop reloading automatically after a tab was inactive for several hours. I did not know that after installing the addon I had to reload the tab for the program to take effect. I assumed that it was not working and I contacted the developer by mail who answered me immediately. And after a few messages he told me that I had to write Twitter.com at the host window and reload the tab for it to work for the first time. And indeed, it worked! Thank you! :D

v.good

It does not work on Google Chrome, I hope it works very soon

Works perfectly on kilx.ba which use http meta refresh 270s, also number of blocked refreshes works fine.

(EDITED to reflect the problem-solving update.) This add-on didn't work on repubblica.it (a newspaper). However, the developer looked into it, and he won it over at last! This is the first "stop auto reload" extension that works on that site, as far as I know. The developer reacted quickly to my comment, and the problem was fixed in 48 hours or so.

5 stars fully deserved!!

Exactly what I need. This addon remembers the specific websites that I want to stop the reloading, not others.

Really good for newspapers in Argentina

Tested and working fine with newspapers in Argentina (La Nacion & Infobae)

ready good. I have been looking for this feature for many years. an excellent complement when the accessibility.blockautorefresh was not working. BRAVO to the developer @kgersen

I have been trying to stop drudgereport.com from auto reloading for some time. I tried noscript and ublock origin with no luck. I stumbled onto this addon and decided to try it out.

The first thing I tried was to add the url to the list...no luck. Then tried the host name...again no luck.

Then I remembered I could open the source code. I did and near the top was the auto reload code. I copied this line:

function autoRefresh()self.location.reload(true)

into the regular expression box and changed the (true) to (false) VOILA!.
That worked.

Now all that refreshes is the favico. LOL

Works well with auto refresh on newspaper websites in Australia.

Doesn't work for me with https://zoom.us/j/ urls

Tested on twitter, doesn't work.
