How to prevent Chrome from freezing background tabs?

Question

JavaScript

Is it possible using the Chrome API to prevent freezing of the background tabs in which my extension is running? If yes, then please tell me how to implement it? The tabs on which I maintain authorization constantly go into freezing. I say in advance that I can’t log in directly with POST, since EDS is used for authorization.

Answer 1

Hurrah!) I found a solution to my problem. You just need to place handlers in the background.js of your extension:

chrome.tabs.onCreated.addListener(function(tab) {
    chrome.tabs.update(tab.id, {
        autoDiscardable: false
    });
});

chrome.tabs.onReplaced.addListener(function(tabId) {
    chrome.tabs.update(tabId, {
        autoDiscardable: false
    });
});

chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function(details) {
    chrome.tabs.query({}, function(tabs) {
        tabs.forEach(function(tab) {
            chrome.tabs.update(tab.id, {
                autoDiscardable: false
            });
        });
    });
});

add tab auto-refresh to your plugin or action in the magnifying glass when active, the tab will not fall to sleep
