Hey, Can I solve this issue?
Setting it less than 5 seconds could lead to a server blocking your IP. It would be nice to allow it at least 5 seconds to start with.

Setting the refresh to 5 or 3 or 2 or seconds is up to the user, and the potential blocking is the particular server's business that has nothing to do with the extension and the user :-) (I've never met such less-than-5-sec-blocking servers so far).

Cannot agree. It should be up to the user to decide, and the word "allow" looks kinda incorrect here, the minimum should be 2s. It would be great to have 2s, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 8m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 60m presets, and an option with the field for custom value in sec/min
I'm telling you from experience. I just wanted to let you know that I have used another tab reloader which meets your requirements. However, by using it on an Amazon server on a 3-second reload, my IP has been blocked temporarily, maybe because of the server security policy regarding the DoS attack or something else.
So don't use it on an Amazon server: problem solved? Adding silly artificial limits doesn't even solve that problem. I developed the server, I'm making code changes, and I want to see the behavior changes by having the tab automatically reloading in a loop until I get the behavior correct... 10 seconds is a ridiculously long amount of time to have to wait.
Well, here is the solution: If you spend some time grepping source code to fix this by yourself, you see that actually it's possible to go under 10s limit if you start the timer while holding "Shift".
I still think this must be explicitly allowed, tho. 🍉
It's useful for testing purposes.
Is there any hope to see this fixed in the near future?

It would be great to be able to set the reload (and be able to add a preset) of 1 second, instead of 10. I've seen other extensions that have minimal limit of 1-2 seconds, and really expect to see this in this extension too
