@munastronaute Not possible to disable it for good. You can try going to opera://discards and disable it for specific pages and, probably, temporarily.

This happened after the last update. The opera has three pages open. One is active. After some time about 15 minutes, inactive pages are reloaded. This is normal.? This has not happened before.

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?

@leocg And do not help me where to find "go to opera: // discards" Is it somewhere in the opera settings? Can't find "discards" via translator

@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.
