Often enough that I use the livereload feature in grunt-contrib-watch[1] so whatever I'm working on is reloaded in my browser without me needing to refresh it. I've found that automating things like that has made me check things are working a lot less often.

I do the same thing with Gulp's version of LiveReload. Love it, huge time-saver. https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-livereload

I'm also a big fan of BrowserSync. Can be used for a similar use-case, and lets you (for example) see the site updated on your phone, tablet and laptop whenever you make any change. http://www.browsersync.io/
