Reload Enabled Development Extensions
Reload Enabled Development Extensions is a Chrome add-on developed by Mykhailo Onikiienko. This free tool falls under the Browsers category, specifically the Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
This extension is designed for developers working on Chrome extensions. It allows for quick reloading of enabled unpacked extensions with just a few clicks. Users can either use the shortcut Alt-Z (which can be customized) or the context menu on any tab to reload the extensions.
One of the main advantages of this tool is its ability to reload only the enabled extensions, saving time and resources. Additionally, if the Options page is open, it will also be restarted upon reloading. The extension also offers the option to reload the active tab, which is particularly useful for content script extensions development. Users also have the ability to turn off the reload feature from the context menu, providing flexibility based on their needs.
However, one drawback of this extension is that it closes the background debugger window, and there is no public API available to reopen it.
Overall, Reload Enabled Development Extensions is a useful tool for Chrome extension developers, providing a convenient way to reload enabled unpacked extensions with ease.
