Hello,
I just changed my PC and I have a problem that I didn't have with the other one. When I have several windows open on Google Chrome, they all reload, which means that when I type on one without having submitted it, my text gets deleted. I couldn’t find a solution on Google, plus I'm really bad at computers. I really hope someone can help me. Thank you in advance.

Good evening,
"they all recharge"? I'm not quite sure I understand.
Have you tried with another browser? Or reinstalling Chrome?

Hello,

With Google Chrome Web Store extensions, it's possible to set up the automatic refresh of the tab that periodically reloads the web page.

Install the extension --► Tab Auto Refresh


Once installed, the icon will appear next to the address (URL) bar.
If you don't see it, click on the puzzle icon (hovering over it says 'Extensions')
Locate the extension ''Tab Auto Refresh''
Click on the small pin.
This will place the icon next to the address bar.


Then open your site that refreshes the tab every 30 minutes, for example, or any other interval.
Click on the ''Tab Auto Refresh'' icon next to the address bar.
Select and click on your preferred time.
For example 8:00 AM
Click on --►Apply


You can see the time on the icon that will count down as the defined time elapses.
To do this, right-click on the ''Tab Auto Refresh'' icon
Check or select the line --►Show Timer countdown


Another extension:
==► Easy Auto Refresh


Another extension:
It's a bit more complicated with ==► Disable automatic tab discarding
This stops Chrome from suspending tabs and reloading them.
This extension does everything it can but may be insufficient.

Hello pistouri, and a big thank you for your help and detailed description, that's very kind of you. I had seen this extension; I wanted to avoid it, but after trying everything without success, I think I have no choice left. So thanks again to you, and have a good evening!

Happy for you.
The Auto Tab Refresh extension worked for me on Google News, a news site that refreshes the page quite often just like other sites.
Don't hesitate to come back if it doesn't work, but there aren't many workarounds.
And extensions can stop working overnight, but as long as they're in the Web Store, you have to make do with it.
Catch you later!

Hello,
A console option completely blocks certain refresh attempts. Simply press F12 to display the developer tools in Google Chrome, switch to the console, paste window.onbeforeunload = function (){return 'Reload?';} And run it.

Hello Franstrad,
Actually, I've read that it's a new feature in Chrome that automatically refreshes tabs. I would like to get rid of it, but how??

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help. So I did what you described but it failed, it doesn't want to. I think Google has done everything to make it impossible to bypass because I've tried everything I've found and nothing works. Grrr, I'm giving up! Thanks again and have a good evening!
