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 no longer works. I installed it on my Chromebook, and absolutely NOTHING changed. Even with two tabs open, the unused tab would freeze. Useless.

My tabs were refreshing in Google Chrome on my Chromebook. Found and added this extension, restarted Chromebook, started working as expected straight away. I've usually got Twitter/Facebook/Twitch/Mycujoo/Music and a bunch of other social/media tabs open so very helpful. 5-Stars from me, but more importantly a huge thank you for this extension and thank you to the other reviewers who included helpful tips!

Thank you! As usual, the Chrome devs think they know what is best for everybody, and forced tab discarding down our throats, despite it not being wanted by many of us. One day they might learn that 'one size fits all' is a total fallacy, but until that day, we'll have to rely on decent folk like yourself writing the extensions we need, to give us the browsing experience that we want. Thank you.

Works great! (Some tabs Google won't allow you to disable discarding, so if you are wondering if it is working or not, you can easily check: the dev has easy instructions on the Chrome Web Store details entry (click on the Overview menu) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-automatic-tab-dis/dnhngfnfolbmhgealdpolmhimnoliiok
