Prevent page refresh when Chrome DevTools opens

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?

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.

I have found that some extensions cause page refreshes, such as "Awesome Color Picker"
