New feature: pause/stop auto-reloading if the user interacts with the page

When the user interacts with the page, it might be desirable to prevent the auto-reloading in order to not disrupt whatever the user is doing.

Interacting could be something lightweight (such as clicking or using the keyboard) or something more involved (changing any form field value, interacting with any button or checkbox).

Such feature would require full access to the page content, so care must be taken to address privacy concerns, to request the minimum access possible, and to avoid having any performance impact.

I'm still not sure if this feature should be implemented, but I'm taking note here.

I'm with you, it reloaded when I didn't expect it to.

I'd support this as an addition to the extension. My use case is for refreshing a ticket queue, and it would be nice to not have to remember to disable the refresh when I start actively working tickets.

Surprised this isnt implemented yet.....I think this is a important feature to avoid bothering the user when a refresh isnt needed
