Since the latest update, tabs refresh whenever I leave them and then return. This takes ages, and is unnecessary and very annoying.

Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9202.60.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.137 Safari/537.36 Platform: 9202.60.0 (Official Build) stable-channel edgar Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Load up a bunch of tabs 2. Wait a couple of minutes 3. Switch back to an earlier tab What is the expected behavior? What used to happen until the update a couple of days ago was, the tabs would be how I left them. What went wrong? Now, Chrome takes it upon itself the refresh the tab as if I had just newly-opened it. When it's a spreadsheet with hundreds of lines, this is a pointless waste of a Chromebook's processing power - and my time. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 57.0.2987.137 Channel: stable OS Version: 9202.60.0 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0 My Chromebook has its own 'Refresh' button on the keyboard, and Chrome also has a prominent software 'Refresh' button. So, why would I want it to refresh everything automatically, just for the hell of it, when I know nothing has changed?

I have had this Chromebook for 6 months, and there was never a problem until this week. I can only assume that the latest version of Chrome uses so much memory on its own that there's nothing left for more than a couple of tabs. I had hoped that a brand new Chromebook might last a bit longer than this, before being rendered useless by updates. Anyway, thanks for explaining. |
