I spent weeks finding a way to refresh a page or a tab from the server once a user starts or restarts the browser. I was very surprised to find nothing about this topic.
Let's dig into the context, tries and the solution I came up with.
Typically, once a user opens a browser and gets to a page, it directly provides the page in cache without refreshing any data from the server. Obviously, this only applies if the user is not in a private navigation.
In this case, as a user, I always need to open the browser and then manually reload the page to get the last updated data. What? Am I too lazy? Sure I am a developer!
