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.

Thank you for creating this! I just installed this extension since I discovered that this is the only way to stop inactive tabs from refreshing when selected.

новые открытые вкладки нужно принудительно помечать для того,, чтобы они не обновлялись при следующем открытии браузера. это тупо.

I thought it wouldnt work after multiple attempts with other extensions but this one works like a gem. I can finally multi-task while listening to music and such. This extension deserves a review and a 5 star.

have a chromebook and auto tab discarding is ruining my life, this extension has been the only way of stopping it. all you have to do is download it and thats it. no fussing around selecting stuff or setting it up. perfect.

It WORKS! at first it didn't but that is because once you download it you need to turn off your computer all the way. and then when you bounce through tabs they stay open and don't refresh!!!! thank you so much. I've only had it for a day so I will see how it works I will give and update next thursday to say wether or not it is still working. so far so good. 👍
