Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.138 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/1.8.770.56 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. set "enable-offline-reload" to false and/or "enable-offline-reload-only-visible" to true. 2. restart chrome and restore previously opened tabs without internet access 3. enable internet access What is the expected behavior? The tabs shouldn't reload if "enable-offline-reload"==false. If "enable-offline-reload-only-visible"==true then only the visible tab should be reload. What went wrong? When the Internet connection is established a lot of processes are being spawned for all the non-visible tabs. This leads to a huge memory and cpu load (see Issue 393395 ). It seems like the flags are being ignored. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 58.0.3029.68-1 Channel: beta OS Version: Debian Testing Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 999.999 r999 Debian Testing, amd64. Chromium beta 58.0.3029.68-1.

So the usual answer with flags is "they're experimental, don't count on them" and the right result of this bug might be to remove those flags; I think the experimentation around auto-reload is long in the past. Having said that, looking at the code, this should be working, and even if it wasn't, this sounds like the wrong default behavior (I thought we auto-reloaded only visible tabs by default). Elly, Matt: Am I right about default behavior? Any awareness of changes that might have caused this?

I'm unaware of any changes. Be great to investigate this, or at a minimum, at least remove the flag, but I'm not going to have time for it.

Triager on duty. I agree that we should remove these experimental flags. I will send out a CL.

I looked at the code. This is more involved than removing an unused feature flag. I am marking this as available and moving it off triager's queue.

THe flag is actually enable-offline-auto-reload. Sorry for the...erm...rather slow response. :) |
