Why can't Chrome add 'reload tabs only when focused' ??!!! A simple, trivial feature that's in every browser on Earth, except bloody Chrome. Its been requested pretty much forever and Chrome takes a perverse delight in ignoring the most requested features, because of course they know better than their users. other examples - multi row tabs, customizable fonts, and actually giving a damn about memory usage. Chrome is a memory hog and instead of optimizing that, the solution is to kill background tabs. This is very similar to Android's logic - instead of trying to fix rampant 'Android system' and 'Play services' wakelocks which cause massive battery drain, the fix was to forcefully suspend apps via Doze, which of course ignores the real problem entirely.
