Opera refreshing pages automatically if background tab left for a certain time

Some websites specify that the page is supposed to be reloaded after a certain time interval, so that you always have access to the latest information. So without knowing what the pages were, I can't say if that is anything strange.

@sgunhouse This is a site with a game. open for example 3 pages. on short, three game accounts are loaded. Previously, these pages were active even if they were not visited for a long time. after the last update of the opera, two of these three pages that were in the background start to reload.
And this is not only with the game site. I'm watching the film. I went away for 20 minutes. the laptop fell asleep. I turn it on - the site reloads. Is it possible to somehow get back the previous version of the opera?

@box250383 Not a problem but a Chromium change.

Good day.
I want to clarify again.
after the last update of the browser, inactive (background) open pages fly off, that is, they are reloaded. that is, while you are working in one tab, Facebook opened in another tab is disabled
this is very inconvenient. just a disaster.
Can I do it as it was before the update? or you can eliminate this inconvenience.

@box250383 said in Opera refreshing pages automatically if background tab left for a certain time:

go to opera: // discards

settings - advanced - background synchronization - Allow recently closed sites to finish receiving and transmitting data (recommended) - negative.
are these settings?

@box250383 Nope, it's something completely different.

True. This is so annoying. I already reported this and tweeted them, but no answer. This is a major inconvenient because I lose the progress when tab refreshes. I don't know why they added this option. I specifically hated this in Chrome, at least they have an option to disable it. Wouldn't like to switch because I honestly love Opera.

@sclears It's a Chromium change, so (almost) all Chromium based browser will behave that way.

And Chrome doesn't have an option to disable it. At least not that I could find in Chrome Canary.

@leocg It does have the option, in chrome/flags.

@sclears Then it was or will be removed because Chrome Canary no longer has such option.

@leocg Is there any workaround? Or can you develop any?
I mean, that is a plain idiocy, to simply unload a tab just because I was not looking there for a few minutes. It makes the browser basically unusable for anyone apart from pre-schoolers.
When I keep multiple tabs open, most probably there is a reason for it. And unloading them completely defies the whole purpose of the ability to keep them open. Are we going back to IE 1.0 era?
I quite love Opera (loved it much more years ago, with Presto engine, then the switch to Chromium came...understandably, as Presto developers were unable to keep pace with quickening development in the web world), but it is continually getting worse with each Chromium update. And now, with this one, it has become a complete disaster.

How can we let stupid google decide what is good for us and what is not? It seems like FF will become the only viable option. Or...?

I have Opera open all the time, with various tabs such as Gmail, WhatsApp etc. I've noticed recently that if I change focus to a different tab Gmail, WhatsApp etc. time out (I don't know what the interval is) so that when I click back onto them later they have to refresh, as if I've just clicked on the URI. Is there some setting that I need to fix to stop this happening - it's not a problem as such, just annoying.
