Need a chome mobile to auto reload a tab/page - google-chrome

I have a google spreadsheet that is accessed via the web using an Android tablet. The android tablet uses Chrome, the mobile version obviously. The desktop version of Chrome has an extension for auto reload, currently mobile doesn't support extensions. Does anyone have an idea as to how I can accomplish this? I tried a bookmark script, works on my desktop but not the mobile version. I have to be able to access the bookmark from the page and can't do it on mobile. Thanks for any advice!

A page with an <iframe> and a <button> to reload its contents?

Google Chrome Dev Tools Mobile View not showing Iframe content

I've noticed that the iframe I used within a pop up modal I made does not show in Google Chrome's mobile view from the developer tools. The content will show if I'm on desktop view and also when I'm adjusting the size of the browser window (Not using Chrome dev tools). On Safari, it works perfectly fine in the safari developer tools and desktop view.
I've made sure to set the X-frame content to SAMEORIGIN which I observed in the response correctly. I've also made sure both URLs are the same domain and both HTTPS. But the same issue still occurs.
Do you know any additional causes for this or what I can look into? I'm also open to other approaches/suggestions. Thank you for your time!
Since I can't change the way the browser handles iframe on different devices. I decided to deter away from working with the in-built PDF reader within each browser to instead using a react pdf library to spin up a PDF reader of my own.

I was able to view the pdf on Google Chrome for both Desktop and Mobile devices!

How to prevent request desktop version in MOBILE BROWSER

I create function to prevent mobile access with width and library phone. It works. But, Google Chrome has a feature request desktop version. So, my function is broken. What should I do?

display: "fullscreen" in web app manifest file does not work

display: "fullscreen" in my web app manifest file does not work. When I launch the site from my home screen the display-mode is standalone.
(I checked that via window.matchMedia('(display-mode: standalone)').matches.)
But there is this article on Google Developers saying that you can use it. Is it not supported on Chrome mobile? I especially want that the statusbar at the top is not shown.
Since Chrome 58 beta/stable immersive fullscreen mode is supported for progressive web apps.
To make it work you will have to create a shortcut on your home screen and launch your web app/site with this icon.
This could be done with the Add to home screen option in Chrome for Android.
For more information see the following Chromium blog post:
https://blog.chromium.org/2017/03/chrome-58-beta-indexeddb-20_21.html
"fullscreen" is not supported yet. Someone from Google Developers replied that on Twitter.

Chrome Packaged App - Always-On-Bottom

I am working on a desktop widget system for Chrome OS, and I would like to have the widgets be able to be only seen when all the windows are minimized (or when the desktop is exposed). I know there is a window option to have the window be alwasyOnTop, but is there a way that I can make the window 'alwaysOnBottom'? Thanks, in advance!

Not able to copy text,XPath or other attribute from the chrome developer tool

I followed the approach mentioned in how to emulate a mobile (android) browser on desktop
to project the mobile webpage's properties on desktop chrome browser. I was successfully able to do that but now I have some queries as mentioned below, please let me know your inputs on that
a) How to use the "Select element option" of chrome developer toolbar to view an element's property for a mobile webpage. In normal desktop chrome browser we have the web page displayed and below that the developer toolbar is displayed and we can easily spot the element using a pointer but with mobile webpage displayed on desktop chrome browser i am not able to use this option as the webpage is not displayed.
b) I tried to copy the xpath and other things from the displayed HTML (HTML of mobile webpage on desktop chrome browser) but it gave me an error that "You need to install a Chrome extension that grants clipboard access to Developer tools". I installed one such extension named: "Auto Copy" but then also I was not able to copy. Please let me know how to go about it.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Namit
For (B) – Judging from the discussion when that message was introduced, it sounds like you need to roll your own simple custom extension to enable clipboard access. Here's a sample manifest.json – I haven't tested it out myself, but it looks pretty straightforward. The extension development Getting Started guide explains how to turn a file like this into a working extension and install it locally.
