## Auto Reload Backend - Browser Extension
### Overview
Auto Reload Backend for browsers is a powerful extension designed to work in conjunction with the Auto Reload Backend VS Code extension. This browser extension enhances your development experience by automatically reloading your browser tabs when changes are detected in your backend code.
### Features
- Automatic browser reloading: Instantly refreshes your browser when backend changes are detected.
- WebSocket communication: Establishes a secure WebSocket connection with the VS Code extension.
- Multiple tab support: Manages reloading for multiple tabs and windows simultaneously.
- Visual indicators: Provides clear feedback about the connection status and reload events.
### Configuration
Configure the extension by right-clicking on the browser extension icon and selecting "Options" or "Settings":
- **WebSocket URL:** Set the WebSocket URL if you're using a custom server setup.
- **Reload Delay:** Set a delay (in milliseconds) before reloading after receiving a change notification.
- **Notification Settings:** Configure visual and audio notifications for reload events.
### Troubleshooting
- Ensure both the VS Code extension and browser extension are up to date.
- Check that the VS Code extension is running and has established a WebSocket connection.
- Verify that your web application is running on the expected port.
- Try disabling other extensions that might interfere with page reloading.
- If problems persist, file an issue on our GitHub repository.
