How to Stop Chrome From Refreshing the Tabs
Google Chrome has a feature known as "Tab Discarding," which automatically refreshes tabs to free up system resources. While this can be useful for improving performance, it can be inconvenient if you need certain tabs to stay in their current state. This guide will walk you through the steps to stop Chrome from refreshing tabs.
Introduction
Tab Discarding in Chrome can cause tabs to reload when you return to them after a period of inactivity. This can be frustrating if you're working with multiple tabs and need them to maintain their content. Fortunately, you can disable this feature to prevent automatic tab refreshing.
Steps to Stop Chrome From Refreshing Tabs
Step 01: Open Chrome Flags
To disable tab discarding, you need to access Chrome's experimental features.
Open Google Chrome. In the address bar, type chrome://flags/ and press Enter.
Step 02: Search for Tab Discarding
In the search box at the top of the Flags page, type "Tab Discarding" to find the relevant setting.
Step 03: Disable Tab Discarding
Locate the "Automatic tab discarding" flag. Click the dropdown menu next to this flag and select "Disabled."
Step 04: Relaunch Google Chrome
After disabling the flag, click the "Relaunch" button at the bottom of the page to restart Chrome and apply the changes.
Additional Information
Alternative Method: Using Extensions
If you prefer not to tweak experimental features, you can use a Chrome extension like "The Great Suspender." This extension gives you more control over tab suspension and can be configured to prevent certain tabs from being discarded.
Installing The Great Suspender
Open Google Chrome and go to the Chrome Web Store. Search for "The Great Suspender" extension. Click "Add to Chrome" to install it and follow the on-screen instructions.
Configuring The Great Suspender
Click on the extensions icon (puzzle piece) in the top-right corner of Chrome. Select "The Great Suspender" to open its settings. Configure the suspension settings according to your preferences, including whitelisting specific tabs you don't want to be suspended.
Note on Resource Management
Disabling tab discarding may increase memory usage, especially if you have many tabs open simultaneously. Ensure your system has enough resources to handle the increased load.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can stop Chrome from automatically refreshing tabs, ensuring that your tabs remain in their current state without unexpected reloads. Whether you choose to adjust Chrome's experimental settings or use an extension, you can take control of your browsing experience and manage your tabs more effectively.
