Colab Autorun and Connect

Automatically connect, reconnect and optionally run the first cell of notebooks in Google Colab

Copyright © 2020 Teal Dulcet and Daniel Connelly

Firefox and Chromium add-on/WebExtension to automatically connect, reconnect and optionally run the first cell of notebooks in Google's Colaboratory (Colab) service. Useful when running Distributed Computing projects in Colab.

  • Automatically connects to notebooks
  • Automatically reconnects to notebooks
  • Optionally automatically runs the first cell
  • Desktop notifications when the notebooks change state
  • Optionally rotate through Colab tabs when the system is idle or locked *
  • Page action popup with the notebooks status and a stopwatch
  • Use a keyboard shortcut to quickly open the popup (by default Ctrl+Alt+C)
  • Detailed information output to the console
  • Supports the light/dark mode of your system automatically
  • Settings automatically synced between all browser instances and devices
  • Follows the Firefox Photon Design
  • Compatible with Firefox for Android

❤️ Please visit tealdulcet.com to support this extension and my other software development.

* Tab rotate does not currently work well with Firefox on Windows because of Bug 1615885.
