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.

It worked for the first month or so, and then it just... stopped working. I have to completely shut down and open up my chromebook and reload it for the extension to start working again, and even though this is a thing it only lasts for like two days before I have to repeat cycle.

One of the best extensions for Chrome (TOP 3). In my opinion it fixed damaged Chrome browser. Now open quick and as I want.

расширение спасает от постоянных перезагрузок открытых вкладок, пока работает без глюков, всё ок. спасибо.

Ever since the last update, my chromebook has been nearly useless because of the constant tab discarding. I tried turning off tab discarding, and even that didn't help. It just would not stop! I couldn't do much of anything online because the tabs were constantly spinning and refreshing, and it got so bad I was looking into buying a laptop to use a different browser. This extension saved my sanity, seriously. Now things are back to normal and running smoothly.

Unfortunately, this doesn't actually stop Chrome from reloading your tabs, so this extension is useless.
