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

Disable Automatic Tab Discarding Chrome Extension

This handy extension prevents Chrome from automatically suspending your tabs and reloading them when you switch back. By marking every open tab as 'not auto discardable', it addresses the common annoyance of losing active tabs due to memory constraints. While it enhances tab stability, please note that it may not be foolproof, as tabs can still get discarded in extreme memory situations.

No setup is required—just install the extension and enjoy uninterrupted browsing. To verify its functionality, check the status of your tabs at chrome://discards. This open-source tool is perfect for users who want reliable tab management while using Chrome.
