## What it is
LiveReload 1.x is a browser extension and companion tool that applies CSS and JavaScript changes to Safari or Chrome without reloading the page, and auto-reloads the page when HTML changes. The project is deprecated in favor of LiveReload 2 and guard-livereload.

## Use cases
- apply css changes to browser without reloading page
- live reload javascript during web development
- auto reload page when html changes
- speed up frontend development workflow
- live css editing in safari or chrome

## When to choose
- you need a legacy live-reload setup for old Safari/Chrome workflows
- you want to study an early live-reload implementation

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is deprecated
- you want a maintained live-reload tool - use LiveReload 2 or guard-livereload
- you need modern hot module replacement - use a bundler like Vite or webpack
