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.

This extension makes Chrome so much better. I have around 10-15 tabs opened at once and it is so annoying that they keep reloading. Thanks for this!
working thank you
IT DOESN'T WORK. Fix it, Chrome.
Excelente! Use com o The Great Suspender, e assim vc tem um melhor controle do que pode ser suspenso, colocando exceções e limites para acabar não perdendo dados.
Brilliant, as i usally have about 10 tabs open at once, this is just what I need to stop them from reloading !!! 5 stars
どこ押してもストアに飛ばされるだけの使えないゴミ
For avoiding browser refresh its pretty useless, maybe other people find use in it, not me. tip to anyone, if you have a clickable icon, make it change when enabled, the user has zero visual feedback right now.
it apears not to work anymore
Не работает!!! И не надо оправдываться типа не надо ставить низкие оценки если не работает типа сделали всё возможное (если вкладки продолжают перезагружаться, то нифига вы так не сделали). А с учётом того, что это главная функция этого расширения и без неё оно бесполезно - получите кол.
Just discovered this extension, after first discovering that, for inscrutable reasons known only to themselves, Google murders tabs that sit in the background for longer than pleases them, unannounced, without warning, and without giving the user any recourse in the matter. I run tabs in the background in similar fashion to other posters on this review thread, and for longer than I'd care to admit, I was bedeviled by things "not working" for unknowable reasons. Stuff would just sort of drop off the radar and quit working. I had no idea that I was even *using* my hidden tabs, and that's because I, up until this nonsense raised its ugly head, just sort of expected unopened tabs that had been sitting around for ten minutes or two hours or whatever (and it's *my* choice and it's *my* computer and it's *not* somebody else's choice as to what runs, and for how long, and whether its in the foreground, the background, or the surface of Mars), *were still there* and had not been surreptitiously "put to sleep" by Google in the same manner that people take their dying pets to the vet and have them "put to sleep." Really Google? REALLY? So ok. So I *use* Google, and Google uses *me* and for the longest time, things sort of just "worked" and it was a bargain with the devil, but I had reached an equilibrium with my devil, and I was ok with things. Until they stopped working, unannounced, with no warning of any kind. Enter "chrome://discards" which I discovered earlier today, and gleefully invoked to keep the damnfool tabs alive, only to discover that it would revert to its nasty default behavior every time Chrome was stopped and restarted. Feh. And now I find myself here, running Linux Mint with Ungoogled-Chromium (Look into it kids, it's good stuff, and despite being quite pesty to install and update on Linux, it's well worth every jot and tittle of annoyance that might come with getting it up and running stably, and which I'm sure the overlords at Google are *not* amused with, but oh well.) having loaded this phenomenal extension which goes by the ungainly name of "Disable automatic tab discarding" that WORKS, and has, so far, kept working, through multiple Ungoogled-Chromium shutdowns and a couple of computer reboots, and for the time being all is well, once again. And if, as with what I'm reading above in certain cases, this extension gets monkeywrenched by the nice folks at Google, I can (I hope), always go back to typing chrome://discards into the address bar after opening the tabs I intend to keep running in the background INDEFINITELY, and manually kill the miserable auto-discard "feature" that I have been dealing with, unawares, for longer than I'd like to admit. So. Nice extension. The work is greatly appreciated. And for those of you who have trouble with it, (as of right now, anyway) a manual invocation of chrome://flags, with the tabs in question already up and running so as they will appear on the list, is a nice fallback position to keep me from running afoul of dogs that don't bark and notifications that don't notify. Phew. That was a *lot*, wasn't it? Sigh.
