Description from extension meta

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

Image from store Disable automatic tab discarding
Description from store 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. 👨‍💻 Open source: https://github.com/WorldLanguages/DoNotDiscard

  • (2023-03-18) syouki siogami: "インストールした時点で自動適応される"ことを記述したほうがいい。 It would be better to describe "auto-adaptive at the time of installation". あと設定の開き方も。 Also how to open the settings. 「chrome://discards」で変更が可能。

Thanks a million! This works as intended and as described. Chrome is worthless without this extension.

  • (2021-11-21) Lifeless Lilt: It doesn't work, for sure caused by Chrome not extension developer, I just wasted time .. Google doesn't want you to have any control on your computer at all, but that's fine! the more they will act like in Orwell or Huxley novels, the more people will stop using their service and even more services and companies will make money in the future :)

  • (2022-03-03, v:1.0.4) Ella Worton: Very slow tabs / problems using tabs
    Hello, we have used this extension for some time to help prevent tabs timing out. However, over the last week we have seen a significant shift in how long tabs are taking to load/open, and then that the tabs seem to freeze for quite some time before an action such as copy and paste, or typing can even be performed. We have ruled out any other tech issues, so wonder if this is an issue with the extension? Any info would be helpful. Thank you.

  • (2022-01-13, v:1.0.4) Jeff Arscott: Specify certain sites to be whitelisted to stay open
    Is it possible to specify specific websites to not auto discard? instead of all tabs? I'd like to push this to my organization to allow for a VoIP Web app to remain active, but don't want to bog down their machines.
  • (2021-12-23, v:1.0.4) Anne Glubis: Chrome memory issues
    Hi - thanks for the extension. The auto-discarding of Chrome is really slowing me down. But I think your extension is slowing me down in another way - possibly using more RAM than I have (a problem I'll jump on right away). A friend suggested I should only use this discard prohibition on certain tabs to help move things along. But I don't see that option on your app. So, I'll try another app that has that. Perhaps you could look into that as well? Anyway, best of luck!! Merry Christmas and stuff

  • (2021-11-19, v:1.0.4) Louise Spencer: App
    This may be a wild suggestion, but have you ever thought about making an app for android and apple phones that can work as an auto refresh stopper for phone app browsers. I can imagine there are a lot of people who would love an app like this on there phone.

    I'm wondering if you have ben able to test it on the latest chrome release? Since google deprecated the experimental flags for auto discarding, I'm wondering if that affected the API as well? Can this extension even work still?

  • (2021-03-22, v:1.0.4) Sage Pavus: Chrome Tabs Still Refreshing
    Hello. I downloaded this extension to remove the constant tab reloading, since there is a lack of ability to go into flags and remove it myself, but the extension is not working as intended most of the time. It keeps the tabs from reloading for longer than about a couple minutes, but then they spontaneously reload again. The extension is not working as intended.
