Summary
Not all domains or web applications benefit from Chrome's tabs auto-discarding feature, in an enterprise context many of those are state-rich, always connected mission critical applications (e.g. CTI applications, monitoring applications, etc.) which can be negatively impacted by such Chrome feature.
This extension has been developed to deal with Chrome tabs auto-discarding feature by providing a way to configure its behaviour over the tabs of a Chrome instance.
The extension monitors your tabs and can be configured to:
- turn off the extension (Chrome default behaviour)
- disable auto-discarding on all tabs (already opened and new tabs)
- disable auto-discard for specific domains (already opened and new tabs)
The extension's configuration can be provided in two ways (in order of precedence):
- by Chrome Policies (for enterprise Administrator/Users distributed via Windows Group Policy)
- by local configuration file
