The chrome tabs auto refreshes every time when I go to the tab and its turning out to be really annoying. Any fix?
I was able to resolve this inside Chrome Version 48.0 (Running on Windows 7) by performing the following steps.
1.) Open the Chrome browser and navigate to chrome://flags
2.) Search on the page for "Enable tab discarding"
3.) Set this flag to "Disabled"
4.) Restart Chrome.
Chrome will do that when you are low on memory. If you have a lot of programs open, try closing some of them out.

Since the last week I'm running into a weird issue related to Chrome version 54.0.2840.71 on OSX. Somehow after updating the CSS the new styles are not loading after refreshing the page.
Styles are not loaded either after a hard refresh (CMD+Shift+R) of when browsing in incognito modus.
This doesn't happen in Firefox or Safari. Anyone else having the same issue or know how to fix this?
This may help. Open dev tools in browser then right click on refresh button of chrome. A menu will open. Select empty cache and hard reload.
If this is also not working then quit browser and try after relaunching.
Also look at chrome://appcache-internals/ for your page if there are some caches just delete those caches related to your page.
I've been using Window 7. It is just a bit annoying when tab is auto reloaded in Chrome browser when tab is kept open for longer. It always loses my data when page is auto reloaded.
Do you have any advise to stop this Chrome's behavior?
Thanks in advance.
Disable Automatic tab discarding at chrome://flags/#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. #automatic-tab-discarding
go to chrome://flags/ and set to "Disabled" flag "Only Auto-Reload Visible Tabs" and hit Relaunch browser.
That's it
you can disable this feature of chrome by going to this url :
*
chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding
*
You can control the details of the new Chrome behaviour playing with the different options for the setting #proactive-tab-freeze-and-discard.
This allows more control than the #automatic-tab-discarding flag.
As already mentioned in a comment the options is now called "Proactive tab freeze and discard" and can be found here:
chrome://flags/#proactive-tab-freeze-and-discard
The available values are:
Enabled
Enabled Freeze only
Enabled Freeze and discard
Enabled Freeze and discard, heuristics disabled
Disabled
I have seen this option in Chrome 75 and Brave 0.65 Chromium: 75.0
Suddenly my Chrome console can't show up any more. I even tried to uninstall and install Chrome, but nothing helps.
Look how it looks without the console:
And this is how it looks when I press F12 to open the console (the same thing if I try to open it via the menu) notice that it pushes the content aside with blankspace and there isn't any console at all!:
F Lock also disables this functionality. Please toggle the F lock state and check.
I suggest you to try this:
Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Rename the folder "Default" to "Backup" or something else
Launch Chrome (it will recreate the Default folder with a blank user profile)
If you don't have any problem after doing this, your user profile is corrupted. When you uninstall Chrome, your user profile is kept, this is why the problem was still here after reinstalling.
If your F12 press alone doesn't open the devtools in the browser then press and hold Fn and then press Esc. It's done!!
Now you will be able to open devtool just by pressing F12.
I had a similar problem. In my case, it was the TrackIR software intercepting F12. So if you have TrackIR, check it is not running.
I just stumbled upon this and fixed it by turning off all extensions, and then turning them back on one by one. It turns out in my case the screen reader extension "Chrome Vox" caused the issue.
With Chrome 32.0.1700.77 the new emulator tab is handy except it's the default tab when I refresh my page.
During my standard development workflow, I constantly refresh the page when I make changes. I usually have the console window open at the bottom of the network or source views. But every single time I refresh the page, the Emulators tab takes focus and I can't see the console.
This is truly annoying since the app will fail because of a simple JavaScript typo, but I can't see the console without clicking one more time (to focus the console tab).
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Combined with the Chrome Developer Tools unresponsive since update 32.0.1700.76 m issue, I would have to say Google really tripped up this release.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. It looks like there has been a bug reported to Google as found on this thread, but no fix has come about yet.
I think the only way (right now) to prevent the console tab from being hidden when needed is to avoid using the emulator or revert to a previous version of Chrome.
Hopefully a fix comes soon!
It's been a while since this post was made, but I came across the same issue recently. When you have the developer toolbar open, the phone icon beside the "Elements" tab should be blue. Clicking that will disable Emulation.

I did clear all in chrome's setting->privacy, and then fully closed chrome and turned on the air mode. Then, reopen the chrome, visit the page that previously has been cached by HTML5 Offline and it worked
(I expect it to be broken, because I did clear all)
Looks like the only way to remove the application cache i am aware of is to uninstall/reinstall chrome app. But I suppose it's not the ideal way.
Does anybody know how to do that? much appreciated.
Click the right top setting button.
Bottom Click "clear Browsing Data".
Click clear cache from the next modal window.
Enjoy.
Open the AppCache Internals page of Chrome (chrome://appcache-internals/) and delete your app.
The complete local storage will be wiped for that app.
