Disabling the memory saver worked for me.

Settings / Performance / Memory Saver – toggle to off

Wayyyyyyyyyy to complicated. Way to many options. Way too many people saying it doesn’t work.

I’m blow away at how awful and buggy the world’s most used software is.

In reply to Ryor. I highly doubt that. It refreshes tabs that you go to after not being on them, not ones that are currently active. So you are likely having some other issue. "literally".

I’m having this issue only with my Note 20 ultra – & unfortunately I use it the most. Don’t have this problem with Windows 10 on my HP laptop or on my iPad, only on my phone. I tried the chrome://discards option but didn’t have any luck.
Got the blank page saying:
This site can’t be reached
The webpage at chrome://discards/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_INVALID_URL
I’m a Research Assistant so this is a huge problem for me.

This extension helps to do exactly what we all want here to solve: Disable automatic tab discarding
I works just as described, and you can prove it on your:
chrome://discards/
There is nothing to set up. Just install it and that’s it.
However, some other extensions may interfere with it, if the code from different extensions work on the same chrome processes.
Keep in mind page reloads are not only and not always due to chrome bugs or particular ways chrome try to avoid “freezing” or “crashing” itself, but scrips within each website source code too.
In other words, some page reloads are not related to chrome itself, but for the ones related to this chrome “Auto Discards” functionality, this extension works exactly as we need.

depuis mi-avril 2022 la version 100 de chrome, on ne trouve plus le flag ni l’ accès à chrome://discards/ . Même l’ extension “Disable automatic tab discarding” qui était parfaite pour empêcher l’ actualisation automatique aurait besoin d une mise à jour car la version 100 l’ a anéantie .
dernière minute : désactiver disable le flag : Tab Hover Card Images

It would be ever so nice if the boffins at Google Chrome undertook to learn the distinction between “update” and “sabotage”.

At what stage of the process were any end users consulted?

Guys, I think I know what’s the solution is if you on chrome delete your account and re-enter again and see it worked for me but I don’t know that this bug or I don’t know gonna be back.
