In summary: there is no straight-forward way. I have to save a "fingerprint" of the tab (combination of url, tab index, and maybe other data) to try to detect a tab. That means the extension will have to request an optional permission for tabs

The fact that your addon currently requires "No access" is great, and made me chose it, so it would be a small step down on the "intrusiveness scale" to require access to tabs... But still better than all the other addons, that requires access to browsing history or even web pages.

bro, I don't care about that feature, I still love your product. when I used to use other auto-refresh extensions I was always worried about my data theft, but today I found your extension is working flawlessly. I found it on Reddit. Again Thanks!!

I'll share my use case just to give you some insight into why this would be useful for me, but maybe not in the exact way you've described it.
I have a certain URL (actually a domain, the path/parameters don't matter so much) I want to refresh every hour or so. I usually start the extension on the tab with that URL open, and let it go. If I close the tab, I have to set the refresh again. It would be nice to be able to set up the extension to recognize that website when it's open and start refreshing it.
I imagine this will require additional permissions though, and agree there is some value in keeping your extension with no permissions.
