Freeze Facebook Auto Refr

(Facebook frequently changes how it works, so this extension may not always be perfect — but it's actively maintained and updated to keep up.)

Freeze Facebook Auto-Refresh stops Facebook from automatically reloading your feed when you return to the tab, so you won’t lose your place. It works by blocking Facebook’s background reload triggers that normally run when you switch tabs or windows.

Simple ON/OFF toggle from the toolbar
Keeps your feed exactly where you left it
Works on all Facebook versions (www, mobile, web.facebook.com, and regional variants)
Lightweight – no tracking, no data collection
Runs entirely in your browser

How to use:
1. Install the extension.
2. Click the toolbar icon to switch between ON and OFF.
3. When OFF, Facebook works normally. When ON, auto-refresh is blocked.

Note: If you turn the blocker OFF on a page where it was already active, you may need to refresh the Facebook tab to fully restore normal behavior.

Privacy:
This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All functionality runs locally in your browser.
