Oh hey Chris,
Let me try it again. Last time I remember trying it there was something off with it.
Hey Chris,
For it to work, do I replace his part of Dan's sub macro with your applescript?
Because when I do that, I get an error.
No, my script is stand-alone.

Oh my, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Except for one thing. It doesn’t initially open the web page if no web page of the url exists. With that it would be complete.
Another daily script I use from you. 
I am actually extremely curious what your workflow is like given just how much you know about automation. Never had a thought of writing a blog?
I would certainly read it.
Hey Nikita,
Easily fixed – search the script for “new”.
-Chris

Isn’t that what we’re all doing here? Saving time.
Starting getting this error every time I try call the macro :
Is the macro :
Never got it before and not sure what to do.
Thank you for any help.
I have the same error on Safari 10.1
Its still working ok on Safari 10.0.3
Has anyone solved this “Can’t convert types” error? I’d really miss this Plugin, it worked great when it worked.
Also, is it limited to 10 or does it continue with the newer versions of Safari.
Thanks
There is another pretty easy way to reload Safari tabs
You just need to specify a tab position 1,2,3...
The script will refresh a specified tab in the background
Hey Kirill,
You can also do something like this.
This script reloads every tab in the front Safari window, but it can easily be adapted to work with a specific tab in a specific window.

Agreed. Still works for Chrome, but not safari. And I'm on 12.0. A huge bummer, as I loved this macro!
Great plugin/macro! Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem with this, a simpler version I tried to make for myself, as well as @JMichaelTX 's from here.
In all of these, the correct tab is selected but the chrome window is not set to frontmost. In other words, if I have only one chrome window open everything works perfectly but if I have 2 chrome windows open and the opposite window is currently focused, "AXRaise" is not working at all to switch to the window with the desired tab.
Mac version: 10.14
Chrome version: 72.0.3626.121
KM Version: 8.2.4
EDIT: taking a closer look the following Applescript works fine for me with "Safari", but not at all with "Google Chrome"
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Google Chrome"
tell (window 2) to perform action "AXRaise"
end tell
end tellRe the "can't convert types" error that stops this working with safari: I think I have fixed it, but I don't really understand the fix 
Replacing the line:
var result = _app.windows.whose(_not: [{document: null}]});
with:
var result = _app.windows
removes the error. It may have been required on an older version of safari? I've tested it with multiple safari windows, blank tabs, etc, and it seems robust.
I've attached my patched version here.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! So great for bringing my CRM web app to the front.
Hey! Thanks for this awesome script! I use Microsoft Edge. How do I add it in the macro?
I tried to Delete the Macro from the Kayboard Maestro and now I'm getting this error. Can anyone please help?
