Disable automatic tab discarding

Stops Chrome from suspending tabs, and reloading them when you switch to them.

Disable Automatic Tab Discarding - Chrome Extension

'Disable automatic tab discarding' is a Chrome extension that makes each tab you open 'non-auto discardable'. It is designed to prevent Chrome from killing more tabs than you'd want it to. This extension operates automatically and requires no configuration. It marks each opened tab as 'non-auto discardable', provided that you've installed the extension and have not disabled it. To verify its operation, go to chrome://discards to check that every row in the 'auto discardable' column is marked with a cross. Nevertheless, there might be instances where tabs still get discarded if your system is out of memory.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension automatically tells Chrome that every tab you open is "not auto discardable". This might help solve issues where Chrome kills more tabs than you would want to, however, this is not foolproof, and tabs might still get discarded if your system is out of memory.

No configuration needed, the extension will mark every open tab as "not auto discardable" as long as you installed the extension and haven't disabled it.

Want to make sure this extension is working? Go to chrome://discards in a new tab and see how every row has a cross in the "auto discardable" column.
