Stop Chrome Tab Sleeping/Hibernating

How can I stop Chrome from having its tabs Sleep/Hibernate? I'm running the "revolver" extension and I want the tabs to reload before I cycles to it.. however it seems that chrome's tabs are put in a state of hibernation so it doesn't reload until the tab is "active" and showing.

Is there a workaround for this?

Does Google Chrome put tabs to sleep?

Enable Sleeping Tabs in Chrome Sleeping tabs can help reduce memory usage and, as a result, free memory for important tasks. You can use the flags to enable sleeping tabs.

From wOxxOm's link:

"you can turn this off by going to "chrome://flags/" and selecting "Disabled" under "Enable tab discarding"

See @joseantgv comment above

Check chrome://discards/

Seems to be how chrome does this on latest build - Version 87.0.4280.141 (Official Build) (64-bit)
