Session Alive is a free Chrome extension developed by Arun that allows you to keep your session alive on any website and avoid being logged out.

Many websites have session timeouts, which means that if you are inactive for a certain period of time, your session will expire and you will need to log in again to continue using the website. With Session Alive, this is no longer a problem.

This extension keeps your session from expiring by automatically reloading the website in the background. Even if you are inactive for a long period of time, your session will stay alive without the need for manual reloading.

Session Alive offers two main options to keep your session alive. The first option is the Background page request, which uses AJAX requests to keep the session alive without requiring a page reload. This means that unsaved changes are not lost. Simply set the Background trigger URL as your website's dashboard or welcome URL, set the interval, and your session will stay alive.

The second option is the Foreground page reload, which automatically reloads the current page in the browser to keep the session alive. This option is useful for websites that implement a JavaScript idle timer in the browser itself.

Session Alive also allows you to set browser notifications for page reload success or fail conditions. Additionally, you can easily create and edit rules in the settings page to customize the extension according to your needs.

Please note that Session Alive requires certain permissions, such as access to your data for all websites, access to browser tabs, and the ability to display notifications. These permissions are necessary for the extension to function properly.

Overall, Session Alive is a useful Chrome extension for anyone who wants to keep their session alive on websites with session timeouts. It provides convenient options to prevent session expiration and ensures a seamless browsing experience.
