I am assuming here that refreshing means that the page is reloaded.

If then everytime the page is reloaded you get it to run a CGI script 
that is embedded in it.
This CGI script writes the time away to a file.
You then have a separate cron job that examines that file periodically 
and sees if it has been updated within the requisite time period. If it 
hasn't it kills the chromium process and restarts another one.
