Menu
Not sure whether it's a bug or feature, but it brings inconvinience to me.
Every time I launch Chrome DevTools by pressing F12 on 95% websites I have to wait for page to refresh which is initiated by browser. I noticed, that this issue might be caused by CPU manufacturer of my working machine, e.g.:
AMD A-10 laptop, 6 Gb of RAM: refresh
Intel i7-920, 12 Gb of RAM: no refresh
Intel i7-4770 desktop, 24 Gb of RAM: no refresh
AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 Gb of RAM: refresh
If I close DevTools and then open it again without closing current tab there is no refresh.
Does anyone have the same issue? Is there any way to fix it except this?

If you want to disable or stop the auto-refresh, you can click on Toggle to turn off the Auto Discardable checkbox against the open tab, and you're done. The only major caveat is that the setting is not permanent. If you close the chrome browser and relaunch, Auto Discardable is re-enabled for the site.
Right click on the element of interest then click inspect. Navigate to the Sources tab. Click the pause button (or press F8 or Ctrl + ). Page will no longer refresh.
Click the Close (x) button in the upper right of the Settings panel, and then click the Reload DevTools button that temporarily appears at the top of DevTools.
UPD: Now I'm sure the reason of such behavior is "AdBlock Plus" Chrome Extension (ID: cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb).
I think the refresh started to happen after the extension's update. When I open DevTools in Chrome Incognito mode AdBlock is disabled and I get no refresh, also there's no refresh on another PC I use with no AdBlock.
