How to make pages not reload in Chrome when I switch tabs?

  • 772

Hello I am having problems in Google Chrome. I have multiple tabs open and when I switch from one tab to another, they reload again. Each tab that I enter reloads again every time I switch, rather it's as if when I go from one to another, the one I leave already starts to reload, and it doesn't finish doing it until I go back to it and stay in the same . Don't disable cookies or anything like that. I didn't make any changes to the settings, so I don't know how to fix this and have the tabs stay where I left them. How could I correct this so that the pages stay as I left them when I switch tabs? Thank you

    That's because of Tab discarding, which is an option that allows Chrome to save memory by choosing tabs it thinks are unused and unloading them from memory. The option is available from version 46

    At one time it was an experimental option, today it is already activated in the installation. To deactivate it you have to go to the internal options page of Chrome, put in the address bar: chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding.

    Automatic tab discardingmeans "automatically discard tabs" and next to the description you will see a selector that says Default, you change it to Disabledand it is deactivated.

    As many of them are experimental development options, they do not have a Spanish translation, but using google translate we can read it calmly and clear up some doubts about what it does.

    Automatic tab discarding

    If enabled, tabs get automatically discarded from memory when the system memory is low. Discarded tabs are still visible on the tab strip and get reloaded when clicked on. Info about discarded tabs can be found at chrome://discards. – Mac, Windows
