How do I keep Chrome tabs from timing out?

Often, the reason your connection might be getting timed out is due to cookies or caches becoming corrupted and creating problems in establishing a connection between your browser and the website's server. Therefore, a good option is to clear your browsing data from your Google Chrome.

On Chrome version 83:

  • Go to chrome://discards/ (open as a URL).
  • Find the tab of interest.
  • Look at the "Auto Discardable" column, click "Toggle" to disable it.

Note that if the computer is low on RAM, keeping tab active may hurt performance and even halt the system. So make sure to close unnecessary tabs and extensions by yourself.
