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 works especially well on systems with older CPUs (for example, Core2Duo machines) with bloated Windows, where the default automatic reloading takes lots of unnecessary time and resources. I don't know why Chrome removed the flag, but I'm so glad that this extension brings it back! Chrome works a lot better with background tabs now.

Awesome! Sometimes I wonder what Google engineers are thinking - or lack thereof.

Saved my life, I couldn't stand chrome discarding my tabs and it's gotten worse the past week, it discarded as soon as I opened another tab when I only had two. Thank you.
