Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

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.

Thanks for a great extension! I'm getting annoyed by Chrome discarding a tab/window that I need to always be on for notifications, and to stop others from being discarded too because of slow reloading. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

I'm using Vivaldi (Chrome based browser) and have been manually toggling tabs "Auto Discardable" to off in vivaldi://discards. That solves the reload problem for that tab. I was slightly worried that doing that for every tab (as this extension does) might cause performance issues... Haven't been using this that long but so far no problems. It has actually IMPROVED performance. I think that increase in performance means something is not right in either Chrome or Vivaldi... Hopefully that'll get fixed. But so far, this extension is great, works as stated. I'll update if I have problems.

Sometimes I'll just sit in various apps writing stuff and then leave because.. ADHD and everything I've previously written (or worked on) disappears because reloading. This app stops that.
