How to reduce auto logout surprises in Chrome.

If a browser app logs you out while you are still working, the fix depends on the site, its security policy, and what Chrome extensions are allowed to do. Session Activity Helper gives you a visible way to test supported pages, start browser-only activity, and save repeat site profiles on Pro.

Add to Chrome - Free See Pro profiles

Browser-only activity for supported pages. Session Activity Helper does not override site, workplace, school, browser, device-management, or admin-controlled session rules.

Start with the exact tab that times out

Auto logout is usually controlled by the web app, SSO provider, organization policy, or browser session rules. The right first step is not a generic setting change. Open the exact tab that keeps interrupting your work and test whether a browser-only helper can run there.

Normal HTTP and HTTPS pages are usually testable.
Chrome internal pages, extension pages, and the Chrome Web Store cannot receive injected activity.
Some iframes, video players, and SSO flows may still ignore browser activity.

Use visible diagnostics instead of guessing

Invisible keep-alive tools create a trust problem: you do not know whether anything happened until the site logs out. Session Activity Helper is designed around visible status, last pulse, active recipe, and support state so you can decide whether a page is worth relying on.

When a saved profile becomes worth paying for

If the same CRM, dashboard, training portal, or admin tool interrupts you repeatedly, Pro profiles remove the setup tax. Save the interval, recipe, overlay preference, and run behavior once, then reuse that workflow.

How to test it

Install Session Activity Helper from the Chrome Web Store.
Open the web app tab that auto logs out.
Run Test this page from the extension popup.
Start a visible session and keep the green status indicator enabled.
Watch last pulse and active recipe before relying on the page.
Upgrade to Pro when the same site needs saved profiles, advanced recipes, or longer run windows.

Free vs Pro decision

Free is the right starting point when you need one visible manual test. Pro is for repeat sites, saved profiles, advanced recipes, longer visible run windows, and exportable diagnostics.

FAQ

Clear answers before you install.

The honest limits matter. They reduce support load and make Pro upgrades more durable.

Can a Chrome extension prevent every website from logging out?

No. Websites, SSO systems, employers, schools, and administrators can enforce session rules that a browser extension cannot override.

Does Session Activity Helper collect page content?

No. The extension is designed around local settings and local diagnostics. It does not collect page content, credentials, cookies, or browsing history.

Does it keep my computer awake?

No. It is browser-only and does not move the real operating-system cursor or prevent device sleep.

Next step

Install free, test a real page, then save the workflow if it helps.

Add the extension, open the page that keeps timing out, run Test this page, and start a visible session. Pro is for repeat sites and longer workflows.
