I am using Google Chrome 11.0.696.77 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Is it possible to refresh(reload) all the tabs in Google Chrome without going into each individual tab and hitting F5 to refresh the page?
There's an extension that does exactly that:
Features:
It also sits in the toolbar so you could just click a button.
You can select multiple tabs by holding down Ctrl (in OS X: Cmd) and clicking on multiple tabs. If you want to select all of the tabs click on the first tab, hold down shift, then click on the last tab.
Now that you've selected the tabs, right click on any of the tabs and click reload.
Another method without installing extensions: set Chrome to reopen the pages that were open last in Options, then close and reopen the browser. Occasionally I'll do this to refresh all the pages if I accidentally open my browser without an internet connection :-)
You should select all relevant tabs by pressing the first tab and then Ctrl+Shift and clicking on the last tab. Or pressing Ctrl+ and clicking on any tab you wish to reload.
After all relevant tabs are selected: press Ctrl+Shift+R
You may want to look into something called iMacros(extension for chrome). I know it is in its early stages for Chrome, but things like that could be easily recorded and then at the click of a button the script would go through and hit refresh.
It seems like those shortcuts and select multiple tabs are gone in Windows 10.
So, I go back to an old-school trick:
It will reopen closed windows with all the tabs you want to reload.
Simply use the Reload all tabs chrome extension :)
Most reload tab utility hogs my system and freezes my browsers as they try to reload everything at the same time. As a solution I introduced a delay between my reloads, not only that the delays increases based on number of tabs you have opened.
