Youtube refreshes every time you re enter the tab

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. Whenever I have a tab open on YouTube and then switch to a new tab (like Facebook, for example), returning to the YouTube tab refreshes the video, causing it to restart. It's really annoying, and I was hoping to find out if anyone else is having this problem and if there's a potential fix for it.
please help

@avi25 It happens every time you go back to the tab? Or just if you do it after a while?

@leocg Every time I watch a YouTube video and then open a new tab to go on Facebook, when I return to the first tab, the entire YouTube video reloads and starts from the beginning. It's really annoying. What can I do to stop this from happening?

@avi25 You can try testing with a standalone installation.

@avi25 Are you on Windows? If so, click on Opera USB on the bottom of this page, download the installer and run it.

Try to use YouTube with that new installation and see if it works.
