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.
The Disable automatic tab discarding chrome extension does it automatically for all tabs. No need to pick and choose which tab.
