How to Stop Vivaldi from High-handedly Reloading Pages Without Asking?!
-
In the Vivaldi browser, when a tab with a specific page is not in use, it goes into sleep mode. When it's activated, it automatically reloads, loading the entire page from scratch. How can I prevent it from automatically reloading without turning off the sleep function? It seems like the page is being frozen and is still available for browsing, but the automatic reloading without asking ruins it. It's silly because it completely contradicts the idea of leaving a window open; I might as well close the window and reopen it. For example, many websites are Single Page Applications (SPA). Moreover, I end up reading something at a certain paragraph, go for a coffee, come back, and suddenly the page reloads from the beginning and I don't know where I was. Worse still, in the case of SPA, it is in a completely different place on the portal.
Similarly, this is a specific function of the hibernated page, so maybe there is a plugin that instead of hibernating freezes the pages, because hibernation is a wrong term in windows opens the whole system in the same place where we were and here it works completely differently so it is not hibernation but turning off. -

Hi, the Chromium feature Tab Hibernation hibernate a page if the system is low on memory.
The feature Memory Saver hibernate a tab after a certain amount of time.
You cant disable Tab Hibernation but you can setup the Memory Saver.
This is disable by default.
Check: chrome://settings/performanceCheers, mib

@mib2berlin Thank you for your response, but unfortunately, you didn't quite get it. I'm not looking to disable the feature altogether. What I really want is for it to ask before it loads, you know, a bit of courtesy. This feature is available in 'Tab Suspender
www.tab-suspender.com' for example, and you can enable it in the options: 'Restore on mouse hover' and 'Restore on mouse hover on the blue circle instead of click.' Also, there's 'Open new tabs discarded,' which means not loading inactive tabs immediately but loading them when needed. I'd like to achieve this natively without the need for additional plugins -

Then you can make a feature request but there are a lot request about hibernate already, you can vote if you like.https://lonmcgregor.github.io/VivaldiFeatureRequests/#tag=&req=hibernate&minscore=0&tagsEnabled=
Still curious why tabs hibernate on your system, I have tabs open for days and they never hibernate.
Vivaldi really has a lot of functions, but it cannot meet all needs. -
@mib2berlin Thanks, I'll definitely set it up, thanks. I'm testing these two right now, they do exactly what I expect, and it would be nice if it was implemented.
